This is not what I expected at all. I expected the function to fail, because the target was not a directory, just a symlink to a directory. That, or behavior similar to the command "rm -rf" which only removes the symlink, but not the contents. The current behavior is in my opinion inconsistent; if the symlink is treated as a normal directory, it should also get deleted. As I said, if the current behavior is apparently expected, it should be documented, because I can think of no program that follow symlinks while deleting unless specifically instructed to. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1669> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
