Larry Hastings 9cf065cfdc Issue #14626: Large refactoring of functions / parameters in the os module.
Many functions now support "dir_fd" and "follow_symlinks" parameters;
some also support accepting an open file descriptor in place of of a path
string.  Added os.support_* collections as LBYL helpers.  Removed many
functions only previously seen in 3.3 alpha releases (often starting with
"f" or "l", or ending with "at").  Originally suggested by Serhiy Storchaka;
implemented by Larry Hastings.

it has a `flags` value at the end of the argument list (which

  Fix formatting of values with embedded newlines when rfc2047 encoding

  Before this patch if a value being encoded had an embedded newline,
  the line following the newline would have no leading whitespace,
  and the whitespace it did have was encoded into the word.  Now
  the existing whitespace gets turned into a blank, the way it does
  in other header reformatting, and the _continuation_ws gets added
  at the beginning of the encoded line.

  Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording

  I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs
  the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no
  stat/lstat system calls involved.  I also extended Michal's breakout
  of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged

Brian Curtin 9624559d12 Minor doc update for #9333. Took out the phrasing about os.symlink not
existing and mentioned the OSError possibility.
2010-12-28 17:08:22 +00:00
Brian Curtin 52173d4959 Fix #9333. Expose os.symlink on Windows only when usable.
In order to create symlinks on Windows, SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege
is an account privilege that is required to be held by the user. Not only
must the privilege be enabled for the account, the activated privileges for
the currently running application must be adjusted to enable the requested
privilege.

Rather than exposing an additional function to be called prior to the user's
first os.symlink call, we handle the AdjustTokenPrivileges Windows API call
internally and only expose os.symlink when the privilege escalation was
successful.

Due to the change of only exposing os.symlink when it's available, we can
go back to the original test skipping methods of checking via `hasattr`.

Brian Curtin 1b9df39620 Fix #8879. Add os.link support to Windows.
Additionally, the st_ino attribute of stat structures was not being filled
in. This was left out of the fix to #10027 and was noticed due to
test_tarfile failing when applying the patch for this issue. An earlier
version of the fix to #10027 included st_ino, but that attribute got lost
in the shuffle of a few review/fix cycles. All tests pass.
