Please reopen this issue. The distutils2 project has now been abandoned, so that's no longer a justification for taking no action. At the very least, the documentation should be fixed to either warn about this surprising behavior, or make it clear that the the dir_util functions are for distutils internal use only. ---------- nosy: +Malcolm Smith versions: +Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue10948> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
