If I understand correctly, this bug is about supporting symlinks on *creating* ZIP files. Please see also https://bugs.python.org/issue27318 for a proposal to support symlinks while *unpacking* ZIP files. Maybe a preserve_symlinks optional argument should be added to the `extract` and `extractall` method as well (the same argument name is used in `distutils.dir_util.copy_tree`). Anyway, I think symlink support should be added for packing *and* unpacking or not at all. ---------- nosy: +Henning.von.Bargen _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37921> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
