Category: Python Library Group: Platform-specific Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Stephen Bennett (sbennett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: os.path.exists returns false negatives in MAC environments. Initial Comment: In Mandatory Access Control environments (such as SELinux), it's quite possible for stat to fail with permission denied. In this case, os.path.exists will return False incorrectly. The simple(ish) fix is to check for an access denied error (which would indicate present, but not readable) when using stat to check for existence of files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1117601&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
