New submission from Zsolt Cserna <zsolt.cse...@morganstanley.com>:
The docstring of shutil.copy2 says the following: Copy data and all stat info ("cp -p src dst"). This can be misleading as it is not the same as 'cp -p', as it does not copy the file owner (uid and gid). That would need to have a chown() call to be made, which is currently not called unavailable. I would like to have the documentation fixed by adding that it does not copies file owner and group. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 322551 nosy: csernazs priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: shutil.copy2 is not the same as cp -p versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34260> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
