David, this is a bug in Python, and the proposed patch is insufficient. We use the volume serial number as st_dev, and this is not guaranteed to be unique in Windows, and may be 0, just as a file's index number is also allowed to be 0. Both possibilities are well documented. With a WebDAV volume you will find that both numbers are 0. Using the VSN and file index as if they're the same as POSIX st_dev and st_ino is technically wrong. There is no guarantee that this tuple uniquely identifies a file in Windows. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33935> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
