New submission from Adam Olsen <rha...@gmail.com>: "destination" is ambiguous. It means opposite things, depending on if it's the symlink creation operation or if it's the symlink itself.
In contrast, "old" is clearly what existed before the operation, and "new" is what the operation creates. This terminology is already in use by os.rename. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 84171 nosy: Rhamphoryncus, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: os.symlink/os.link docs should say old/new, not src/dst _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
