Antoine Pitrou: > How about shutil.copystat()?
shutil.copystat does not copy over the owner, group or ACLs. Modeling a copymetadata method on copystat would provide an easy to understand API and should be implementable on Windows and POSIX. Reading the OS X documentation shows a set of low-level POSIX functions for ACLs. Since there are multiple pieces of metadata and an application may not want to copy all pieces there could be multiple methods (copygroup ...) or one method with options shutil.copymetadata(src, dst, group=True, resource_fork=False) Neil _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
