Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: All functions in the POSIX/os module are available only on those systems that support them, and then do exactly what the system says they should do. So if your system doesn't have lchmod, the os module won't provide such a function on your system. There are systems which do provide lchmod, e.g. NetBSD 1.3 and later.
Exposing this as a no-op function on systems which don't implement it would be incorrect. If you want to wrap it with a no-op function in your application, go ahead - it's easy enough. I fail to see a bug in this report, so closing it as invalid. ---------- nosy: +loewis resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
