Sam Thursfield added the comment: I've discovered that this patch introduces a nasty failure case! If you have a relative symlink pointing to a directory that's alphabetically sorted after the symlink, and files inside the symlink, 'tar -x' won't be able to create those files because the symlink target won't exist yet.
I'll rework this to only affect shutil.make_archive(), and to avoid hitting this bug. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24465> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
