Not always linkat() can be used instead of link(). But on Windows (where there is no linkat()) os.link() creates a new link to the symbolic link itself. This is yet one argument for making follow_symlinks=False by default and changing the default behavior of os.link() on NetBSD. ---------- nosy: +eryksun, larry, serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37612> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
