Jason R. Coombs added the comment: Thanks Eric for the report. I had tested earlier on XP, but didn't do so with the latest changes. It appears that a couple of modules didn't behave well under XP. The latest patch (16) addresses these issues. In particular, many tests use the presence of os.sym

[issue7399] Possible bug in Python Tutorial

Jason R. Coombs added the comment: I agree that a proper solution might include full symlink support. However, symlink support for windows (issue1578269) is taking some time to develop and will likely never be available for Python 2. My feeling is that a symlink naive implementation (such as P

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: In most shells $PWD is a magic variable that is maintained by the shell itself. IMHO python has no reason to mess with variables that happen to be defined by some shells. If subprocess were to set $PWD, os.setuid should set $UID, and there may be other mag

Mark Dickinson added the comment: A late note: this would be redundant if the oft-requested division of timedeltas were implemented: t.total_seconds could then be spelt t/timedelta(seconds=1) with the advantage that there would then be a natural way to spell t.total_days or t.total_hours as
