STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
There is not only chown! There are also lchown(), fchown(), stat() and
lstat().
Attached patch:
- use "unsigned int" to store Windows st_uid/st_gid in the win32_stat
structure
- use PyLong to store an unsigned group in the stat result (because
2^32-2 doesn't fit in a PyInt)
- use "unsigned int" (instead of long) for uid/gid in chown, lchown
and fchown
Note: *chown() accepts -1 for an argument, eg. chown("file", 10, -1)
only changes the user group.
