Hynek Schlawack <h...@ox.cx> added the comment: We have an edge case when the caller calls copymode with symlinks=True on an OS that doesn't have lchmod (ie any other than FreeBSD).
Should it be a nop (as in copystat), use chmod or raise an Exception? I Personally (and some people on #python-dev) believe it should raise an Exception as the caller made the effort to say that (s)he wants the link _not_ to be followed and it's just one operation (contrary to copystat that does several things). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
