Christian Heimes added the comment: Thanks for the report. I agree with your analysis. We should follow the behavior of cp and always strip off the suid/sgid bits in shutil.copy(). coreutil's cp removes the bits and doesn't handle source owner = destination owner special.
There are other bits that may need special treatment, too. I'm going to check the sources of cp. ---------- stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17180> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
