Add tarfile.filemode alias with deprecation warning. > I would like to replace them with values from the stat module I would prefer to simply drop all these constants. None is used by the tarfile module. *If* an application uses tarfile to get stat constants, this application must be fixed to use the stat module which contain thse constants since the creation of the stat module, something like 23 years ago... changeset: 20:118545312f3b branch: legacy-trunk user: Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> date: Sun Oct 21 16:17:08 1990 +0000 files: Lib/stat.py description: Initial revision ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
