[issue20779] Add pathlib.chown method

[Jaspar S.]

Jaspar S.  added the comment:

I would love to use chown for a pathlib Path, too.

It may not be used often, but if anyone want's to change all the os references 
from a file, it would be cool to have it on pathlib!

[issue20779] Add pathlib.chown method

[Emmanuel Arias]

Emmanuel Arias  added the comment:

Hello!

I also use it frequently, but looking this issue I can agree with pitrou that 
there aren't  lot of people that use chown.

If I'm not wrong, there's a trend to move os to pathlib, perhaps chown should 
be in pathlib too :)

I can work on this.

[issue20779] Add pathlib.chown method

[Tom Cook]

Tom Cook  added the comment:

+1 this.

I have a program that opens a UNIX socket as root for other processes to 
communicate with it.  I need to set the permissions to 0o775 and set the owner 
gid to a specific group so that members of that group can communicate with the 
process.  It's annoying to have to drop back to `os.chown(str(path), ...)` for 
this.

[issue20779] Add pathlib.chown method

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Well, I don't know yet, but if we ever want chown() in pathlib, I think it 
should be higher-level and accept symbolic uids as well.

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I don't know about philosophical reasons ;-), but I don't think chown is very 
often used. Do you know of a context where it is?

[issue20779] Add pathlib.chown method

[Vajrasky Kok]

Vajrasky Kok added the comment:

Pragmatic reasons:

I use chown moderately often. Usually as root, I want to change the uid of the 
files after generating a bunch of files. But I almost never changed gid.

I am in two mind whether I should add lchown as well or not (just like lchmod) 
and make the signature of pathlib.chown same as os.chown (with third parameter, 
follow_symbolic_links).

If you close this as won't fix, I will not hold grudge against you, though. ;)

[issue20779] Add pathlib.chown method

[Vajrasky Kok]

New submission from Vajrasky Kok:

For pragmatic and philosophical reasons, I would argue that we should add chown 
to pathlib library.
