Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Sorry about the confusion, "-f" isn't supported either that's why I noticed there is a problem.
$ readlink -f . readlink: illegal option -- f usage: readlink [-n] [file ...] Again, why is does does have to be a shell script anyway? I really don't like the propect of having to reimplement the logic in _osx_support in shell code... I've written loads of large, portable shell scripts in the past (when portable meant supporting a dozen or so different unix flavors), and that's not really an experience worth repeating :-/ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18257> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
