New submission from Manuel Barkhau <mbark...@gmail.com>:
In Python 3.8, the types of the parameters to the ignore callable appear to have changed. Previously the `src` parameter was a string and the `names` parameter was a list of strings. Now the `src` parameter appears to be either a `pathlib.Path` or an `os.DirEntry`, while the `names` parameter is a set of strings. I would suggest adding the following to the documentation https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Doc/library/shutil.rst .. versionchanged:: 3.8 The types of arguments to *ignore* have changed. The first argument (the directory being visited) is a func:`os.DirEntry` or a func:`pathlib.Path`; Previously it was a string. The second argument is a set of strings; previously it was a list of strings. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 360271 nosy: docs@python, mbarkhau priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: shutil.copytree - ignore callback behaviour change type: behavior versions: Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39390> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
