New submission from Richard Oudkerk <shibt...@gmail.com>: In Python 3.3 (but not earlier) os.stat() is documented to work with file descriptors. (os.path.exists() also works with fds since it is implemented in terms of os.stat(), although that is *not* documented.)
However, on Windows if fd is not open then os.stat(fd) triggers an assertion error or crash: File: f:\dd\vctools\crt_bld\self_x86\crt\src\osfinfo.c Line: 316 Expression: (_osfile(fh) & FOPEN) Note that os.fstat() fails on Windows with OSError(EBADF, ...). ---------- messages: 164705 nosy: sbt priority: high severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: os.stat(fd) crashes on Windows if fd does not exist type: crash versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15261> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
