Wojciech Muła <wojciech_m...@poczta.onet.pl> added the comment: Confirmed in python3.2.
Lib/posixpath.py/_resolve_link: path returned by readlink is normalized by normpath. In this case readlink('zlink') returns 'xlink/../blink', then normpath is called, and returns 'blink'. This ends processing because 'blink' isn't a link. I've attached procedure that does [IMHO] correct symlink resolution (this is just proof-of-concept, it is slow and doesn't deal with cyclic links). ---------- nosy: +wm versions: +Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file21011/poc.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11397> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
