New submission from R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com>: Per issue 7900, os.getgroups on OSX does not behave the same way as on any other unix platform. This seems worthy of a documentation note, since anyone trying to write portable code could get bit by this.
I don't really understand the relationship on OSX between what the current os.getgroups returns, what the normal unix os.getgroups returns, and what things a process can actually *do*, so I can't write that documentation. Hopefully someone else can. A doc note is probably also needed about the relationship between os.setgroups and os.getgroups on OSX, which again I do not understand and so cannot write. ---------- messages: 121293 nosy: r.david.murray priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Document unique behavior of 'getgroups' on OSX type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10433> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
