Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: Functions of the os module that expose POSIX functions should have the same interface as the system function; and they should not call other system function. Here, 'None' is accepted for the second argument only because the POSIX utime() function accepts a NULL pointer.
Your need is certainly valid; but such a behavior does not belong to the os module, which has to remain low-level. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc resolution: -> rejected stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6260> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
