Larry Hastings <la...@hastings.org> added the comment: First: there's no chance this will go into 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3 at this point.
Second: I can assure you that switching to the l... version of a function and not following the last symlink is exactly what "follow_symlinks" is for. Please see the 3.3 documentation on follow_symlinks for more: http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/os.html#follow-symlinks Third: I think it's better to keep os.isdir() simple. Users who want more sophisticated use cases (what to do about symlinks, using a dir_fd parameter) should use os.stat(). So I'm -1 on this. TBH I'm not sure this even warrants a documentation change ("for more functionality, use os.stat()"). ---------- versions: -Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12971> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
