Ned Deily <[email protected]> added the comment:
The issue is indeed with chown call. The call that fails has a gid of -1,
truncated to 4294967295, which is a valid gid on OS X ('nogroup'). The
Apple-supplied Python 2.7.1 in OS X 10.7 fails running under sudo as root:
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 16 2011, 16:59:05)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin
>>> os.chown('/tmp/c', 0, 4294967295)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum
But the 64-bit OS X python.org 2.7.2 and current Python 2.7 builds do not fail.
The fix for Issue1747858 should be in all of them. Investigating further.
