[issue2845] shutil.copy2() copies permission bits
Alexander Belopolsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: This seems to be a documentation issue. shutil.copy2(src, dst) Similar to copy(), but last access time and last modification time are copied as well. This is similar to the Unix command cp -p. -- http://docs.python.org/dev/library/shutil.html#shutil.copy2 Does not mention permissions while $ pydoc shutil.copy2 shutil.copy2 = copy2(src, dst) Copy data and all stat info (cp -p src dst). implies that the permissions should be copied. Maybe the documentation should simply recite the implementation: copy2 is copyfile follwed by copystat. -- nosy: +belopolsky __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2845 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue2845] shutil.copy2() copies permission bits
New submission from igs [EMAIL PROTECTED]: At least in Python 2.4 shutil.copy2() not only copies content and access times of a files like stated in the documentation but also the access bits. That behaviour I would not expect because in other functions from shutil it is explicitly stated if the access bits are copied. In fact I used shutil.copy2(src, dest) shutil.copystat(src, dest) up to now. What does not work if the read-only attribute is set and what is completely nonsense after having a look into the implementation. -- components: Windows messages: 66803 nosy: igs severity: normal status: open title: shutil.copy2() copies permission bits type: behavior versions: Python 2.4 __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2845 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
