Serhiy Storchaka <storch...@gmail.com> added the comment: Why use a special value AT_FDCWD instead of None? It is not Pythonish. Clearly, when it is used in C, but in dynamically typed Python we are not limited to only one C-type.
Such a large number of new functions littering the namespace. Why not just add additional arguments to existing functions? Instead 'fstatat(dirfd, path, flags=0)' let it be 'stat(path, *, dirfd=None, flags=0)' or even better 'stat(path, *, dirfd=None, followlinks=True)' (as in os.fwalk). ---------- nosy: +storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4761> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
