Dear Brian,

 

The function not implemented is "utime", is this a known bug ?

 

# cat test.py
import os,time
f = 'foobar'
a = file(f, "w")
a.write("a")
a.close()
os.utime(f, (long(time.time()), long(time.time())))
 

# python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 7, in ?
    os.utime(f, (long(time.time()), long(time.time())))
OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented: 'foobar'

That name for a file is only created with a flat_list cache backend,
specifically when it's doing an update to an existing entry (kind of a
duh there considering the name, I know).

The algo is roughly
f=open(tmp_update_entry)
write to it
close it
utime it (reset mtime)
rename(tmp_update_entry, update_entry)

Hence the 'offhand'.  Don't know if it's rename or utime that's not
defined- just know that those are the only two syscalls that could
sanely trigger that (failed update will trigger an unlink, but I'd be
amazed if that call was missing).
