New submission from Pierre-Jean Grenier <pierrejean.gren...@free.fr>:
The module tarfile contains some methods for knowing whether an archive member is a regular file/a directory/a symlink. Apart from an "is_dir()" method, there was nothing alike in the zipfile module. For an on-going project, I needed to know whether an archive member was a symlink or not, to prevent zip symlinks attacks. I thought this could be of used for other people, given I struggled a little to find a way of saying if an archive member is a symlink or not. This is why I think adding support for symlinks in the zipfile module could be a good idea. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 350231 nosy: zaphodef priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Improve zipfile: add support for symlinks type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37921> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
