Hynek Schlawack <h...@ox.cx> added the comment: It's not that simple as we currently use public functions for copying the files and the metadata. copyfile is explicitly _not_ supposed to copy any metadata so we can't patch it up to do so. Also that won't help for other stat & xattr data so this fix would be rather incomplete.
umask is ruled out too, because that isn't (if I'm not mistaken) thread safe thus wouldn't help against stat & xattr disclosures anyway. Therefore we'll have to re-implement the whole metadata "stack" for copy and copy2 using fd-based functions. Taking into account #4489, I guess it's the best way (+ hoping someone implements safe versions for other platforms too). The mode itself can also be copied pretty easily using a custom opener for open (os.open has a mode argument). I doubt I will be able to do that till beta1 though. But I suppose we can commit this while in the betas? ---------- keywords: -patch nosy: +loewis, pitrou stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 3.3 -Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15100> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
