Robin Roth added the comment: This bug is still present and annoying. For me it appeared when running ismount on a nfs-mounted directory, when the user who runs python has no read permission inside the directory. Therefore the lstat on /mntdir/.. fails. Attached a patch that fixes this by running abspath on the path.
Symlinks will also work because they are checked/excluded before the part of the code where the patch is in. msg222528 is not related to the original bug and should be opened separately. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +Robin Roth Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40641/ismount-permission.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2466> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
