Georg Brandl cae9f3d916 New test for rev. 54407 which only uses directories under TESTFN. 2007-03-21 09:10:29 +00:00
Neal Norwitz c990f6454f Try backing out 54407 to see if it corrects the problems on the Windows
buildbots.  This rev was backported, so we will need to keep both branches
in sync, pending the outcome of the test after this checkin.

Georg Brandl 8844e438b1 Patch #1273829: os.walk() now has a "followlinks" parameter. If set to

Ronald Oussoren 10168f25ad Patch #1580674: with this patch os.readlink uses the filesystem encoding to
decode unicode objects and returns an unicode object when the argument is one.

Skip Montanaro 94785ef142 Correct implementation and documentation of os.confstr. Add a simple test

Neal Norwitz 05a45599d7 Patch #1309579: wait3 and wait4 were added to the posix module by Chad J. Schroeder.
This was a fair amount of rework of the patch.  Refactored test_fork1 so it
could be reused by the new tests for wait3/4.  Also made them into new style
unittests (derive from unittest.TestCase).

Tim Peters 7f13cfa674 os.walk(): Changed the "sum of bytes consumed by files" example to use
a generator expression instead of a listcomp.

Not a backport candidate (genexps are new in 2.4).

Tim Peters 919a3b40f9 SF bug 1071087: os.walk example for deleting a full tree is sometime wrong.
Clarify that the example assumes no links are present; the point of the
example is to illustrate a need for topdown=False, not to wrestle with
platform-dependent link convolutions.

Also spell os.path.join() out in full, instead of using a shortcut import.
The bug reporter was confused by that too, and it's clearer this way.

Bugfix candidate; but I don't intend to backport it.

Tim Peters 2cf5e1920b Point out some platform vagaries in stat() and utime().
Bugfix candidate (the vagaries aren't new <wink>), but I don't intend to
backport this.

Johannes Gijsbers 9fc9789a0d Document that on Unix, the 'cmd' argument to the os.popen2/3/4 and
popen2.popen2/3/4 functions can be a sequence. All texts are a variation on the
following:

On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed
directly to the program without shell intervention (as with
\function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell
(as with \function{os.system()}).
