New submission from Kevin Teague <kevin.t.waterbear.cl...@gmail.com>:
Zip archives created with shutil.make_archive will not follow symlinks.
The shutil._make_zipfile uses os.walk:
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(base_dir)
os.walk has the followlinks parameter:
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(base_dir, followlinks=True)
Setting followlinks to True will include symlinks in a zip archive.
Could a followlinks parameter be added to shutil.make_archive?
