Pavel Raiskup <prais...@redhat.com> added the comment:
Check out this default behavior of /bin/cp though:
$ mkdir a b
$ echo content > a/file
$ ln -s non-existing b/file
$ cp a/file b
cp: not writing through dangling symlink 'b/file'
Shouldn't shutil.copy*() refuse to write trough a dangling symlink to
non-existent
file? (ATM it seems it just silently creates the file, or fails if it can not
be
created).
