11:46:02 l0nwlf-MBP:python-svn $ ./python.exe Python 2.7a4+ (trunk:79888M, Apr 9 2010, 11:41:22) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import posix >>> posix.mkdir('1') >>> posix.mkdir('2', 000) >>> posix.mkdir('3', mode=000) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: mkdir() takes no keyword arguments >>> import os >>> os.mkdir('4', 777) >>> os.mkdir('5', mode=777) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: mkdir() takes no keyword arguments >>> The two options to fix this are: 1. Patch python-svn/Modules/posixmodule.c to take the keyword arguments. 2. Modify the PyDoc in posixmodule.c as Todd suggested. I had attached a patch which solves the issue using solution '2'. Also I observed that os.makedirs() have no such issue even though it uses os.mkdir() because it uses 'mkdir(name, mode)' to call mkdir. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +l0nwlf versions: +Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16836/posixmodule.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8350> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
