db9198a8b5 SF bug 563750 (Alex Martelli): posix_tmpfile(): 
The file returned by tmpfile() has mode w+b, so use that in the call
to PyFile_FromFile().

Bugfix candidate.

4dfb7a81c1 Explain that os.spawn*() return the process handle on Windows. 
Clarify that os.waitpid() on Windows takes a process handle, not a process ID.
This closes SF bug #537582.

ab034fab03 Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux 
where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).

c48a3ca161 Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows. 
NOTE:  this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms.  I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't.  If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.

5c7983113c Add a reference to the signal module to the os.kill() description. 
This closes SF bug #495609.

8c8e871530 Fix the availability statement for the spawn*() functions to reflect the 
actual availability on Windows.
This fixes SF bug #495191.

6995bb61b6 Various cleanups & markup fixes, mostly relating to the stat and statvfs 
result object changes.
 2001-11-29 20:48:44 +00:00
Fred Drake
c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no 
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

db7287c0f5 Straighten out the exec*() function descriptions a bit, and clarify a few 
points in the spawn*() description.

61c5edf6fc Expose setgroups. Fixes feature request #468116. 2001-10-18 04:06:00 +00:00

938a8d723c Improve the documentation for the os.P_* constants used with the os.spawn*() 
functions to include information about how they affect the operation of
those functions when used as the "mode" parameter.
This closes SF bug #468384.

Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their
security problem.  These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime
by Skip Montanaro.

098d7fae39 Document clearly that the only way to retrieve the return code from the 
child processes is to use the Popen3 and Popen4 classes.
This fixes SF bug #460512.
 2001-09-11 19:56:51 +00:00

739282da83 Re-write the description of the os.spawn*() functions, and cover the 
whole family instead of just two.


This closes SF bug #451630.

8ee679f0ce Minor changes to match the style guide. 2001-07-14 02:50:55 +00:00
Fred Drake
907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make 
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

0b9bc20e66 Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of 
functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms.

Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related
constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
 2001-06-11 18:25:34 +00:00
Fred Drake
046f4d810d Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). Added 
a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management"
section.

Based on a suggestion from comp.lang.python.

Fred Drake
dc9e7e42c8 readlink() description: Added note that the return value may be either 
absolute or relative.

remove(), rename() descriptions:  Give more information about the cross-
    platform behavior of these functions, so single-platform developers
    can be aware of the potential issues when writing portable code.

This closes SF patch #426598.

21c9df7641 For os.stat() & friends, note that the time fields are returned as 
floating-point values.
 2000-10-14 05:46:11 +00:00
Fred Drake
c71c23e392 Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable 
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.
 2000-10-04 13:57:27 +00:00

1319e3ecbc Remove old note that os.popen() on Windows is unreliable; this is no 
longer true.

Thomas Wouters
f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope 
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

e06d025e00 Use \versionchanged to indicate when the second parameter to utime() 
was allowed to be None.
 2000-05-02 17:29:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw
93a8eacde5 Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to the 
previous functionality utime(path, (atime, mtime)), now allowed is
utime(path, None) which sets the file's times to the current time.
