New submission from Santoso Wijaya <santoso.wij...@gmail.com>: Consider:
>>> os.symlink('.\\test', 'Lib\\bar') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: '.\\test' Where Lib\\bar is previously created. The symlink creation is rightly rejected, but with a misleading message. The failure is because 'Lib\\bar' already exists, not because of '.\\test'. ---------- components: Windows messages: 151101 nosy: santa4nt priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Access Denied message on symlink creation misleading for an existing file/directory target. type: behavior versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13775> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
