I've just noticed a strange behavior when dealing with gvfs filesystems:
giampaolo at ubuntu:~$ python -c "import os; print(os.path.exists('/home/giampaolo/.gvfs'))" True giampaolo at ubuntu:~$ sudo su root at ubuntu:~# python -c "import os; print(os.path.exists('/home/giampaolo/.gvfs'))" False This is due to os.stat() which internally fails with PermissionError (EACCES).
BTW, the same is true for FUSE when an FS has been mounted without something like "-o allow_other" or "-o allow_root":
root at nb # ls /home/phd/mnt/net ls: cannot access /home/phd/mnt/net: Permission denied

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.- Previous message: [Python-Dev] os.path.exists() / os.path.isdir() inconsistency when dealing with gvfs directories
