Ok. I presumed that not adding it to __all__ is "private enough". > For some reason the tests are failing here: > > ====================================================================== > ERROR: test_copy2_xattr (test.test_shutil.TestShutil) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/home/antoine/cpython/default/Lib/test/test_shutil.py", line 410, in > test_copy2_xattr > os.setxattr(src, 'user.foo', b'42') > OSError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported > > ====================================================================== > ERROR: test_copyxattr (test.test_shutil.TestShutil) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/home/antoine/cpython/default/Lib/test/test_shutil.py", line 296, in > test_copyxattr > os.setxattr(src, 'user.foo', b'42') > OSError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported Looks like your file system Python uses for tmp files doesn't support xattr. That's bad because you can't verify. How should I cope with that? try/catch on the first setxattr() and skip the test if it fails? Is the an official way to do that? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14082> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
