Yes, this issue is out of date. shutil._rmtree_isdir() and shutil._rmtree_islink() were added to handle mount points (i.e. junctions) as if they're symlinks. More generally, junctions and symlinks are what the platform refers to as name-surrogate reparse points. This category isn't handled generically by rmtree(). It wouldn't be hard to generalize the implementation, but that's something for a new issue. ---------- nosy: +eryksun stage: -> resolved status: pending -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
