New submission from Trent Nelson: posix_tmpfile() needs to be reworked such that tmpfile() isn't used if MS_WINDOWS is defined, as it requires administrative privileges to run (it creates the file in the root directory) on Vista/2k8 (although there are reports of this not working on XP w/ 2.5: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread600423.html).
The recommended approach in MSDN is to use, quote, "tmpname or tempnam in conjunction with fopen": http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en- us/library/x8x7sakw(VS.80).aspx Assuming no one beats me to it, I'll look at creating a patch in the next day or two when I get some spare time. ---------- components: Windows messages: 63254 nosy: Trent.Nelson severity: normal status: open title: Current os.tmpfile() implementation requires admin privs on Vista/2k8. type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2232> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
