Category: Python Library Group: Feature Request Status: Closed Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Paul Jarc (prjsf) >Assigned to: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Summary: setgroups rejects long integer arguments Initial Comment: os.setgroups ought to accept long integer arguments, just as os.setgid does. I think this worked in an earlier version of Python - or maybe it was that string.atol used to return a non-long integer if the number was small enough, so I didn't encounter long integers at all. >>> import os >>> os.setgid(1L) >>> os.setgroups((1L,)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: groups must be integers >>> import sys >>> print sys.version 2.3.3 (#1, Dec 30 2003, 22:52:56) [GCC 3.2.3] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-11-22 19:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Committed in revs 41514 and 41515 (2.4). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v.

Please remove the unused variable check, though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-11-11 08:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Adding enhanced patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2005-10-02 08:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Would that be the time to check that the value fits into a gid_t? I think the strategy would be this: - assign the value to grouplist[i] - read it back again - check if this is still the same value ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-09-29 20:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Attaching patch against CVS head.
