Hi Vernon, A little of both, actually - we have a copy of the Python stdlib, and there are some modifications to it, but the goal is to stay as close as possible to the CPython stdlib.
If you supply a patch upstream, I'll apply it to our copy because it affects us more than CPython, and it likely won't make production until 3.3. I wouldn't worry about trying to determine if elevation is required - just 'write access denied' should be enough. - Jeff On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 11:06 PM, Vernon Cole <[email protected]> wrote: > Jeff: > You are right to close this bug -- I made a bad report based on an > incorrect assumption.
