I updated my PR to remove mentions of the macOS version number. I just wrote "on macOS". Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised that the function always failed. -- I'm not sure that the Linux implementation is correct. It rely on errno, whereas Linux manual page of getgrouplist() doesn't say anything about errno being set on error. Moreover, on Linux, getgrouplist() can also fail with -1 if the group list is too small. In that case, ngroups is updated to the number of groups and so can be used to enlarge the list! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40014> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
