+1 for inode support. I agree with the above -- it should either raise AttributeError on Windows if it's not going to be set ... or it should be more like Victor's original proposal where .inode() is a method that calls stat on Windows. I don't have strong feelings. -Ben _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
