Brett Cannon added the comment: os.chmod is implemented in posixmodule.c and the argument parsing code can be found at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3acbb23c73bc/Modules/posixmodule.c#l2605 . You will notice that the argument parsing is specified as "O&i|$O&p". That means the first argument is parsed as a Python object which is passed through a converter function and the second argument is required to be an integer. That converter function can be found at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3acbb23c73bc/Modules/posixmodule.c#l681. Looking at that code doesn't suggest that TypeError is raised with that message.
What were the exact arguments you passed into os.chmod() that triggered the exception? ---------- assignee: docs@python -> components: +Library (Lib) -Documentation nosy: +brett.cannon status: open -> pending versions: -Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18269> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
