Another possibility is to make it a private module _posixcapabilities, which 
would be used in os module:

try:
from _posixcapabilities import *
except ImportError:
pass

Bike-sheddingly, it bothers me that these functions are actually
*not* defined by POSIX, but have been withdrawn before becoming
standard. So I'd rather call it linuxcap. Using _linuxcap, and
exposing them from os sounds fine to me.

posix module has many optional functions, which are available only on some 
systems.

[issue1615158] POSIX capabilities support

2011-05-15 Thread Martin v . Löwis 

Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de added the comment:

 The development headers for these are not installed by default on
 some distributions.

This is not an issue at all - that's what autoconf is for.

 Adding this to the posix module would enforce linking with lcap and
 lattr always.

That's a more serious problem, IMO; I think some people won't like the
additional dependency.

 I think it would be better if they are added to a separate module

Can you propose a name for the module?

I would say either posixcap or capabitilies.

The problem with capabilities is that it's easy to misspell, as I did :-)

I think it would be better if they are added to a separate module (especially 
since all the functions are prefixed with cap_, it is like they are in their 
own namespace) which means that the module is optional for people that don't 
have/want to build the functionality.

What are your thoughts?

Mark Lawrence breamore...@yahoo.co.uk added the comment:

Matt Kern has put a lot of work into the attached patches from what I can see.  
Common courtesy suggests that someone make an effort to review his work which 
now can only go into 3.2.  I would take it on myself but know nothing about 
POSIX and still find the Python C API intimidating.

Unfortunately, these changes missed the beta for 2.6, so it must be
