Lars Gustäbel <l...@gustaebel.de> added the comment: @senthil: Yes, this is a platform-specific problem. The code that is failing is in fact supposed to somehow "emulate" symlink and hardlink extraction on platforms that don't support these, e.g. Windows. What tarfile is trying to do here is to extract links as if they were regular files.
@sridhar: Thanks for the detailed report. I am currently working on the problem. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8741> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
