Vajrasky Kok added the comment: Whoa, Serhiy, your patch won't fly on Windows Vista.
For starter, the patch does not use target_is_directory=True option in os.symlink. It needs that option when creating symlink to the directory on Windows Vista. The maximum depth that pathlib can do on Windows Vista is 4 (Remember, this line: "for depth in 0, 1, 2, 3, 10, 100"?). More than that: OSError: [WinError 1921] The name of the file cannot be resolved by the system: 'C:\\Users\\vajrasky\\Code\\cpython\\@test_4220_tmp\\testdir\\link5' Not sure whether the bug is in pathlib.py or _getfinalpathname (from nt module). ---------- nosy: +vajrasky _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19887> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
