[issue33971] os.mknod is subject to "umask"
New submission from James Stevens : As per the underlying "libc" call, the node created with "mknod" is subjected to the user's current umask setting. This is not made clear in the Python documentation, but the "libc" documentation makes this clear (see attached). -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: Selection_2018-06-26_003.png messages: 320490 nosy: docs@python, james_r_c_stevens priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.mknod is subject to "umask" versions: Python 3.6 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47653/Selection_2018-06-26_003.png ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue33971> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue33970] bugs.python.org silently refuses registrations
New submission from James Stevens : bugs.python.org silently refuses registration if the user's "homepage" does not match some undisclosed URL validation test. The fact of the validation failure of the "homepage" is not disclosed at any time, including both the initial registration and at activation time. This appears to have been a "known" issue for at least a year, but is still not fixed. http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue591 -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 320488 nosy: docs@python, james_r_c_stevens priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: bugs.python.org silently refuses registrations versions: Python 3.6 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue33970> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue33969] "copytree" refuses to copy to a mount point
New submission from James Stevens : Even if the mount-point directory is empty, "copytree" refuses to copy to a it becuase it will not perform a copy if the destination directory already exists - although it will accept any of the parents of destination existing, or not. Therefore, "copytree" is unable to copy to the top directory of (say) a USB Stick. This also means "copytree" can't be used to merge the contents of two source directories into a single destination. etc,etc This one flaw means that the use scenarios for "copytree" are actually extremely limited when compared to (say) "cp" - but running "subprocess.call(["cp","-a",...])" as commonly recommended on StackOverflow is not an ideal solution for lots of reasons. -- components: Distutils messages: 320487 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, james_r_c_stevens priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: "copytree" refuses to copy to a mount point type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue33969> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
