Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: lightweight (sprif) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: shutil.move() does not preserve ownership Initial Comment: shutil.move() does not preserve file and directory ownership when moving a whole directory tree to a different filesystem. This does not happen when shutil.move() is used to move a directory tree within the same filesystem. Version: python 2.4.2 I have had a look at the source code in shutil.py and noticed that shutil.copystat() does not copy the ownership information, whereas "stat" command does output information about the ownership (on GNU/Linux at least). The only discussion I found refering to file / directory ownership and possible security implications (if any) can be found here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2004-November/025985.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1355826&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
