STINNER Victor added the comment: It looks like open() ignores O_TMPFILE (0o20000000) on old Linux kernels. Test on Linux 3.2:
>>> fd=os.open("/tmp", os.O_RDWR | O_TMPFILE, 0o600) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/tmp' >>> fd=os.open("/tmp", os.O_RDWR | os.O_DIRECTORY, 0o600) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/tmp' So we should catch OSError(21, "Is a directory: '/tmp'") and fallback to the current implementation (random name, unlink), and remember that the kernel version is too old. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21515> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
