| initgroups(2) is a function for initializing the aux group id list from site-specific configuration (typically /etc/groups, but not necessarily). Attached is a patch based on some code from Zope, expanded to have a test and some docs. Presumably Zope will be happy to use this function from the stdlib once they can depend on a version of Python which includes it. Twisted would like to as well. I wasn't able to test the autoconf related parts of the patch as I don't have easy access to autoconf 2.61. I also can't run regrtest.py in my environment for some reason. It fails to import some names from test_support. So I didn't run the unit test that I added, either. |

| The test should skip when not hasattr(os, 'initgroups') since it's optional |

| You can use the new test-skipping feature: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/unittest.html#skipping-tests-and-expected-failures |

| The documentation is os.rst is too laconic (coming from the Windows world, I could not understand what the function is about). The docstring is much better (at least I understand it's related to the Unix security model), I suggest to use it for the documentation. |

| New version attached which makes the os.rst docs the same as the docstring. Also fixes a conflict since introduced in trunk in configure.in. |
