Andrew Ferguson added the comment: The idea of dynamic typing it seems quite heavy to me, but I'm not a Python hacker, so I don't know what's the norm.
Notice that os.stat() does "PyInt_FromLong((long)st->st_uid)" on the stat structure's st_uid field. On my platform (OS X 10.4), st_uid is defined as a uid_t type. So maybe os.stat() has the answer: ignore the signed vs. unsigned int problem and just use a long. The actual chown() call in posix_chown() casts the uid variable to a (uid_t) anyway. GCC doesn't seem to complain when we cast a long to an unsigned int, even. _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1747858> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
