Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: If we do that, we would probably need to acknowledge that most functions in the POSIX module are available only on some Unixes - namely all that are listed in posix_methods with conditional compilation. That, in turn, would be silly for things like getcwd where probably only minority systems (e.g. embedded systems without file system) fail to support it.
I think the problem of this report really originates in the unfamiliarity of the OP with Unix implementations other than Linux, rather than in a flaw of the Python documentation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
