> Isn't that a backwards-incompatible change? So, do you think it should just be documented that follow_symlinks is effectively ignored with os.link() on most platforms that claim to support it, unless either src_dir_fd or dst_dir_fd is used? I'd rather it was fixed to behave consistently in 3.10, even if it's backwards incompatible with some use cases on some platforms. I think for most use cases, it's just called without arguments as os.link(src, dst), in which case on most platforms switching the default to follow_symlinks=False will preserve the existing and expected behavior. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41355> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
