2012,osutils does not play nice with nqp-setting,whiteknight,,"runtime/parrot/library/osutils.pir does not using namespacing. Neither does nqp-setting. Attempting to use both libraries in the same project (which is very possible if using distutils from an NQP-rx script) causes naming conflicts. Specifically, the problem I am having is that distutils is attempting to call the ""slurp"" method from osutils, but is going to the ""slurp"" method in nqp-setting instead. The one in nqp-setting has different semantics and doesn't allow you to specify the encoding.

I would like to add proper namespacing to osutils, but that's going to require some changes to distutils and maybe other languages. I don't know how well-used that library is. Another alternative would be to add NQP setting functions to a namespace (""NQP::Setting""?). I don't know how well that change would be received either.",bug,new,minor,,library,master,low,,nqp osutils,fperrad pmichaud,,,all
