Hi,
I tried to use the os.lchmod() function documented here: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.lchmod
However, it doesn't exist in my version of Python:
wout@zoot ~ 549>python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 26 2010, 22:31:48) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import os os.lchmod('blabla', 0)
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'lchmod'
this happens because POSIX doesn't require lchmod (and lchfalgs) and so Linux systems doesn't provide them. I just opened an issue[1] to discuss about how to handle documentation for these cases.
