New submission from Adi Roiban <a...@roiban.ro>: The return value of os.access(FILE, os.X_OK) is not consistent across operating system when executed as "root"
I have tested with Python 2.5 on Linux and Solaris, but there is a bug in python-nose reporting the same behavior with Python 2.6 on Solaris and AIX. http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/issues/detail?id=423 ------- On Solaris: $ ls -al -rw-rw-r-- 1 buildslave other 1079 May 1 16:25 nose_runner.py $ ./bin/python Python 2.5.6 (r256:88840, Nov 1 2011, 12:19:05) [GCC 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import os >>> os.access('nose_runner.py', os.X_OK) False $ sudo ./bin/python Python 2.5.6 (r256:88840, Nov 1 2011, 12:19:05) [GCC 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import os >>> os.access('nose_runner.py', os.X_OK) True ------ On Linux: $ ls -al -rw-rw-r-- 1 adi adi 1079 2012-05-02 11:25 nose_runner.py $ ./bin/python Python 2.5.5 (r255:77872, Sep 14 2010, 16:22:46) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 >>> import os >>> os.access('nose_runner.py', os.X_OK) False $ sudo ./bin/python Python 2.5.5 (r255:77872, Sep 14 2010, 16:22:46) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 >>> import os >>> os.access('nose_runner.py', os.X_OK) False ---------- messages: 159784 nosy: adiroiban priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Inconsistent os.access os.X_OK on Solaris and AIX when running as root type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14706> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
