Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Even for 3.4 it looks too late.
But I afraid we can't change this behavior never. Users of spwd don't expect any exception, raising an exception will break any existing code. Only one safe way is design new API and deprecate old API. This will be great refactoring, it should also change APIs of the pwd and grp modules, perhaps these three modules should be merged, perhaps we should cross-platform API (available on Windows). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10388> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
