Hi!Suppose you write data to orig.sobj, and then you create a symbolic link copy.sobj to orig.sobj. If you now save data under the name copy.sobj, then the data in orig.sobj get overridden: sage: d = tmp_dir() sage: save(1, os.path.join(d, 'orig')) sage: os.symlink(os.path.join(d, 'orig.sobj'), os.path.join(d, 'copy.sobj')) sage: save(2, os.path.join(d, 'copy.sobj')) sage: load(os.path.join(d, 'orig.sobj')) 2 sage: load(os.path.join(d, 'copy.sobj')) 2 sage: os.path.islink(os.path.join(d, 'copy.sobj')) True
That's a feature, not a bug. If you didn't want this to happen, you should have made a copy instead of a symbolic link.
