Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Oh, forgot to mention, the term "symlink loop" itself is ambiguous.
There are direct symlink loops: an example is a "some_dir/linky" link pointing to "../some_dir/linky". These will fail when resolving them. There are indirect symlink loops: "some_dir/linky" pointing to "../some_dir". Resolving them works fine, but recursively walking them produces an infinite recursion. Lots of fun :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
