Ulrich Eckhardt <eckha...@satorlaser.com> added the comment: The CE documentation mentions directories, too, but is silent on the FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS use for them. Also, even using that flag, I can't open a directory under CE. It seems that this check is superfluous there.
I can also confirm that you get an error if you try to redirect stdin via the commandline to a dir even before the executable is even launched. The only way to still have a dir as stdin could be to use CreateProcess(), but I'm neither sure nor do I care about such abuses. Do you want to remove the whole check for MS Windows then? Are you otherwise comfortable with the second part of the patch, the one about resolving argv[0]? _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4915> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
