New submission from Hirokazu Yamamoto <ocean-c...@m2.ccsnet.ne.jp>: Hello. I noticed os.stat() on windows may traverse wrong path on relative symbolic when current working directory != the directory where symbolic link is in. This is because the relative path DeviceIoControl() returns is just passed to win32_xstat without converting to absolute path.
I'm sorry because I implemented this function, and it's hard for me to debug this because I don't have Vista/7. This patch uses GetFinalPathNameByHandle like original code does, plus should handle symlink to system locked file. Can anyone test and commit this patch? ---------- components: Windows files: patches_v2.tar.gz keywords: 3.2regression messages: 136062 nosy: georg.brandl, ocean-city priority: release blocker severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: os.stat() on windows doesn't consider relative symlink type: behavior versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22006/patches_v2.tar.gz _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12084> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
