Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment: The issue is indeed with chown call. The call that fails has a gid of -1, truncated to 4294967295, which is a valid gid on OS X ('nogroup'). The Apple-supplied Python 2.7.1 in OS X 10.7 fails running under sudo as root:
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 16 2011, 16:59:05) [GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin >>> os.chown('/tmp/c', 0, 4294967295) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum But the 64-bit OS X python.org 2.7.2 and current Python 2.7 builds do not fail. The fix for Issue1747858 should be in all of them. Investigating further. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13315> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
