Fair enough, how about just making it clearer in the documentation? Currently you need to look at the source code to see what would be required for a signature clash to occur. Maybe something like: Note that the [os.stat()](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat) signatures only consider [st_mode](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat_result.st_mode), [st_size](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat_result.st_size), and [st_mtime](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat_result.st_mtime). In some circumstances it's possible for differing files to be considered equal when _shallow_ is `True`. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
