New submission from Ethan Smith <et...@ethanhs.me>:
In the creators update CreateSymbolicLink added a dwflag SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE, which will allow any user to create a symlink (not only an admin). I think we should detect and try to use this flag if possible. I also think it would be nice to suggest turning on developer mode if the windows version is at or newer than the creators update. This should probably happen after https://bugs.python.org/issue28113 ---------- messages: 320288 nosy: Ethan Smith, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.symlink on Windows should use the new non-admin flag _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
