GNU tar (v1.30, Ubuntu 20.04) does indeed overwrite files with symlinks upon extracting, while both `ln -s` and `os.symlink` do not. Therefore I agree that the appropriate behavior would seem to be to overwrite this way, as in the attached PR. ---------- nosy: +taleinat _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40049> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
