Message 315275 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Fascinating. That seems like an even wilder gotcha: It sounds like a script assuming sorted results would work in one directory (on one filesystem) but not on another. Or even weirder, if I had a mounted scratch partition, the script could work until I (or a sys admin) mounts a larger drive with a different filesystem on the same mountpoint. Yikes! Either way, this gotcha seems worth mentioning explicitly.
