Vajrasky Kok added the comment: Pragmatic reasons:
I use chown moderately often. Usually as root, I want to change the uid of the files after generating a bunch of files. But I almost never changed gid. I am in two mind whether I should add lchown as well or not (just like lchmod) and make the signature of pathlib.chown same as os.chown (with third parameter, follow_symbolic_links). If you close this as won't fix, I will not hold grudge against you, though. ;) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20779> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
