[issue11202] Win32: shutil.move does not inherit permissions

Anders Østhus added the comment: Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me, but it still seems inconsistent to me. I did a test with the functions copy, copy2, move, os.rename, copyfile, both on the same filesystem and another filesystem, and the result is: Same filesystem: s

Anders Østhus added the comment: Ok. But that makes the whole method inconsistent. Basically, if it's on the same filesystem, rename the file, and thus not inheriting ACL. If it's on another use copy2, and inherit ACL. That makes no sense, atleast not to me :) -- __

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: > According to the shutil doc page, neither copy or copy2 should do > this. And since they do, and you say shutil.move is implemented using > shutil.copy2, shouldn't files moved with shutil.move also then inherit > the permissions? There's a misunderstanding I

[issue11202] Win32: shutil.move does not inherit permissions

Anders Østhus added the comment: Ok, but the whole page you linked to (http://docs.python.org/library/shutil) confuses me then. It states at the top: "Warning Even the higher-level file copying functions (copy(), copy2()) can’t copy all file metadata. On POSIX platforms, this means that fil

[issue11202] Win32: shutil.move does not inherit permissions

Brian Curtin added the comment: shutil.move is implemented using copy2, which as the documentation states at the top, "On Windows, file owners, ACLs and alternate data streams are not copied." See http://docs.python.org/library/shutil -- nosy: +brian.curtin resolution: -> rejected s

[issue11202] Win32: shutil.move does not inherit permissions

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Intuitively, this seems rather normal to me. If I move a file under Unix, I don't expect its access rights or ownership to change. "Move" really means what it means: you have to update its permission explicitly if that's what you need (shutil.copystat() can h

[issue11202] Win32: shutil.move does not inherit permissions

New submission from Anders Østhus : Hi I'm running Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 17:19:03) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 (Server 2008 R2). I've discovered that when moving files with shutil.move, the file won't inherit the security settings as it should. When using shutil.cop
