I was thinking about the set_ methods to be able to use "root" (str) instead of "0" (int) for example, like what the tar command seems to allow with --uid and --gid. > I am not against adding a new option.

BTW, I think calling > the option "filter" would be more suitable for what it's doing. Maybe we could add the "filter" option for 2.7/3.2 together with the exclude option? And add a deprecation warning for "exclude" when it's used, since it would then become *one* use case for "filter". We could also add an exclude callable in the module, as an example usage of the filter option, exactly like I did for shutil.copytree (look for ignore_patterns). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6856> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
