[issue12191] Shutil - add chown() in order to allow to use user and group name (and not only uid/gid)
New submission from Sandro Tosi sandro.t...@gmail.com: Hi, following up the discussion on http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-May/111642.html here'a patch to introduce shutil.chown() along with doc, tests and a change in os doc to link to the new function (I also took the occasion to rewrap os.chown() doc text). As of now only the one-file function is implemented, let's see at a later time what's about for a recursive one. The patch was prepared against default, but it probably makes sense to backport it to 2.7? Any comment/suggestion is welcome! -- assignee: sandro.tosi components: Library (Lib) files: shutil_chown-default.patch keywords: patch messages: 137004 nosy: sandro.tosi priority: low severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Shutil - add chown() in order to allow to use user and group name (and not only uid/gid) type: feature request Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22132/shutil_chown-default.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12191 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Charles-François Natali neolo...@free.fr added the comment: I didn't test, but after skimming through the code I think that if an invalid user name/group name is provided, os.chown is passed None, which will fail with ValueError. It would be better to raise an explicit error like no such user / no such group. That's something you could add to the tests. Also, you could initialize _user to -1 instead of None, and replace if user is None: _user = -1 else: [...] with if user is not None: [...] Same goes for _group. -- nosy: +charles-francois.natali ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12191 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
