In python 2.6+, os.getgroups() returns wrong results. It always reads system database instead of returning the values that are set with os.setgroups(). > So I propose to close this as "won't fix".

This is how python behaved before r63955. At the very least unit tests that I submitted could be accepted possibly with a skip on OSX if fixing the bug is not an option. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
