And what happens if some Unix flavor (i.e. Solaris) adds new flag, say O_NONLINUXSYNC and it has the same value as linux's O_ASYNC? And then FreeBSD adds O_BSDSYNC flag with the same number and so on. Then Python will have to have separate system-specific module for each *nix system that uses Python. Why do you think Python maintainers would want that? >It does work if you use the value itself anyway. It's the way fcntl works -- it's just a thin layer on top of fcntl() and ioctl() calls. But that's not a good reason for including non-posix flags to 'posix' module __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2890> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
