Ah, sorry, I had misunderstood your comment. Indeed, os.symlink *already* tries to autodetect the target's file type, but the detection is broken with relative symlinks: it doesn't try to join them with the link's directory and so it thinks the target doesn't exist. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13772> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
