Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: Windows Explorer does not so allow, but yes, Windows does. With xp >>> os.stat('some file ') nt.stat_result(st_mode=33206, st_ino=6473924464520118, st_dev=0, st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_size=13, st_atime=1304114221, st_mtime=1304114055, st_ctime=1304113961)
Same with full path. I would go into distutils\filelist.py and print(repr(fullname)) just before the os.stat call to see if there is anything strange. Maybe also try same call interactively like I did above, outside disutils context. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11928> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
