New submission from Spencer Stirling: Using shutil.copytree to copy a directory tree. The source dir lives on a Windows 7 host, however is being accessed from inside a VirtualBox VM as a "shared folder" (using vagrant to manage this whole thing).
The destination directory is just a regular linux directory inside the VM. The guest OS is CentOS 5. shutil.copystat dies on this copy. I have tracked the problem down to line 154 in shutil.py: os.setxattr(dst, name, value, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks) The issue is that the src directory apparently defines the attribute security.selinux, however setxattr doesn't see this attribute in the destination and throws an exception. ---------- components: IO messages: 242881 nosy: sstirlin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: shutil.copystat pukes when attribute security.selinux is present type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24163> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
