Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Petr Prikryl (prikryl) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: shutil.copystat() may fail... Initial Comment: Hi, The shutil.copystat() may fail in case when the destination file has read-only attribute. It's because the implementation calls the os.utime() first and os.chmod() later. In Windows (I am not sure if also in Unix-based system), the os.utime() fails for read-only files. The implementation should ensure the read/write access by " try: os.chmod(dst, 0600)..." before calling the os.utime(). The file mode will be copied from the source file in the next step anyway. The simplistic test attached (Unix line ending used inside the tst.py zipped inside).
