New submission from Damien Elmes <resol...@gmail.com>: It seems like you can't set a modtime of 0 on a vfat partition. This may not be a valid thing to do, but it took me a long time to figure out it was a bad thing, as the error doesn't appear until the next time the error flag is checked:
>>> os.utime("testfile", (0.0,0.0)) >>> import time Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> WindowsError: [Error 87] The parameter is incorrect ---------- messages: 98879 nosy: Damien.Elmes severity: normal status: open title: os.utime(file, (0,0,)) fails on on vfat, but doesn't fail immediately versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7858> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
