[New-bugs-announce] [issue37983] macOS: os.lchmod() incorrectly removed by 2.7.16

Thu Aug 29 15:53:40 EDT 2019

New submission from Keith F. Kelly <keith.f.kelly at outlook.com>:

Apparently the fix for https://bugs.python.org/issue34652 was incorrect, or got incorrectly backported to, the 2.7 tree, because as of 2.7.16, the os.lchmod() built-in API is unexpectedly missing on MacOS, which is breaking our existing code.
