# this module is an OS/2 oriented replacement for the grp standard
# extension module.
# written by Andrew MacIntyre, April 2001.
# updated July 2003, adding field accessor support
# note that this implementation checks whether ":" or ";" as used as
# the field separator character.
"""Replacement for grp standard extension module, intended for use on
OS/2 and similar systems which don't normally have an /etc/group file.
The standard Unix group database is an ASCII text file with 4 fields per
record (line), separated by a colon:
- group name (string)
- group password (optional encrypted string)
- group id (integer)
- group members (comma delimited list of userids, with no spaces)
Note that members are only included in the group file for groups that
aren't their primary groups.
(see the section 8.2 of the Python Library Reference)
This implementation differs from the standard Unix implementation by
allowing use of the platform's native path separator character - ';' on OS/2,
DOS and MS-Windows - as the field separator in addition to the Unix
standard ":".
The module looks for the group database at the following locations
(in order first to last):
- ${ETC_GROUP} (or %ETC_GROUP%)
- ${ETC}/group (or %ETC%/group)
- ${PYTHONHOME}/Etc/group (or %PYTHONHOME%/Etc/group)
Classes
-------
None
Functions
---------
getgrgid(gid) - return the record for group-id gid as a 4-tuple
getgrnam(name) - return the record for group 'name' as a 4-tuple
getgrall() - return a list of 4-tuples, each tuple being one record
(NOTE: the order is arbitrary)
Attributes
----------
group_file - the path of the group database file
