[issue11279] test_posix and lack of "id -G" support - less noise required?

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

The correct spelling of that is os.devnull.  platform.DEV_NULL exists only for backwards compatibility (not sure platform.py still has standalone releases).  It is not documented and only used internally.  For a POSIX-only test like this one, hard-coding /dev/null is the simplest thing that works.

Thanks for the patch; our Mac experts will get to it.  Please generate unified diffs in the future.
