Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: On my system with the attached patch (os-getgroups.patch):
$ sudo ./python.exe Python 2.7a3+ (trunk:78371M, Feb 23 2010, 09:19:44) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5659)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import os >>> os.getgroups() [11, 0, 11, 0, 3, 61, 29, 20, 3511889, 1, 3368710, 1, 2, 0, 1537888, 1, 223] >>> len(_) 17 >>> I haven't tested yet if this version works on other platforms, but at least on Linux and HP-UX the manpage is similar enough to the one on OSX that I expect it to work there as well. (All 3 manpage say that getroups(0, grouplist) returns the number of secondary groups without modifying the grouplist argument). BTW. os.setgroups also needs fixing for OSX: as it is a python script cannot set the grouplist to a value with more than 16 entries, even though the system is obviously capable of doing just that. BTW2. The patch is for the trunk. ---------- stage: -> patch review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16333/os-getgroups.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7900> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
