Category: Macintosh Group: Platform-specific

Priority: 5 Submitted By: has (hhas) Assigned to: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Summary: Can't create Carbon.File.FSSpec for non-existent file

Initial Comment: MacPython 2.3 can't create a Carbon.File.FSSpec for a non- existent file.

Example (where 'NEWFILE' is name of a file still to be created):

from Carbon.File import *

f = FSSpec(u'/Users/has/NEWFILE')

--> MacOS.Error: (-43, 'File not found')

I'm fairly sure this is a duplicate... at least, you can find mails on pythonmac-sig where I work around this. It's a bit of a pain.

Ah, yes, it's 706592. Closing.
