The particular error reported here is due to pathlib, which is a duplicate of issue 33898. That said, since the OP is using 3.7, I've left this issue open in case someone wants to backport the win32_xstat_impl changes that enable stat() (and in particular setting st_mode) for Windows 'character' (e.g. //./NUL and //./CONIN$) and 'block' devices (e.g. //./C: and //./PhysicalDrive0). I don't recall why Steve Dower decided against backporting this update. ---------- components: +Library (Lib) title: os.lstat() does not work with Window Dos devices -> os.stat() and os.lstat() fail with Windows device paths versions: -Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39920> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
