You cannot just remove the mode parameter without a deprecation period. Right now, the flag is documented: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/uu.html "mode is used to set the permission bits if the file must be created" I agree with Martin that I am not comfortable to fix the bug in stable branches (2.7, 3.6, 3.7). I'm +0 to fix the uu module in master (future 3.8). If we fix the bug in master, we should document that mode is ignored in 2.7, 3.6 and 3.7 (update their documentation). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33687> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
