I just checked. If I don't have read permissions, I am not able to open the file. When I open a file and change permissions afterwards, I can read the complete file alright. (Checked with a 4mb file, I hope that's beyond buffering.) So I guess permissions are only checked when you open the file. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5395> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
