Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: The os.path.exists() docs already cover all the gory details of when it may be false due to limited permissions. The is* docs refer to this by their use of the word "existing", but that's probably too subtle.
I suggest adding an extra sentence to the docs of all affected functions: "This always returns False if os.path.exists(path) returns False." ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15221> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
