Brian Curtin <cur...@acm.org> added the comment: Here's a patch implementing a similar idea to what Jason mentioned, complete with the test updates and code removals. It initially adds win_symlink as "_symlink", and on module initialization it will be renamed to "symlink" if the privilege is available.
There are two test failures in test_tarfile that I'll have to work out. Other than that, how does this look? ---------- stage: -> patch review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18330/issue9333.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9333> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
