R. David Murray added the comment: The problem is that mailbox decides if links are possible based on the OS rather than on the file system. This is a general problem that Python has...when the Python file system APIs, and this code, were written, OSes could only read their own file systems, and there was only one file system type per OS.
Fixing this, then, pretty much requires solving the general problem of introspecting file system capabilities. I think there are open issues relating to that. ---------- components: +email nosy: +barry, r.david.murray type: -> behavior versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17593> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
