New submission from Marcel Partap: Don't know whether it should be considered a documentation or behavioral issue, but os.samefile calls os.stat() on given files, following symlinks. Does this really "test whether two pathnames reference the same actual file"? I'd consider os.lstat() more suited for that.
This bites me every time I want to overwrite a symlink with its referenced file using ranger. ---------- messages: 298708 nosy: eMPee584 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.samefile / shutil._samefile: following symlinks type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30974> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
