New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com>: Python reports an import error, even when a valid package exists on sys.path, if that package is a symlink directory and would otherwise be importable.
The attached test script demonstrates the limitation on Python 2.6.2 and 3.1.0. I suspect that the underlying import routines have some assumptions about the file system that exclude symlinked directories. ---------- components: Interpreter Core, Windows files: test_import_symlink_package.py messages: 91699 nosy: jaraco severity: normal status: open title: ImportError when package is symlinked on Windows type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14741/test_import_symlink_package.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6727> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
