You mean treating symlinks to directories like files? I suppose that's a possibility, but I do think it will end up being a source of bugs around symlinking. Admittedly, it *is* apparently what rglob('*') does (just tested it - apparently it won't follow symlinks to directories), though I think it might be a better interface to try to break cycles rather than not follow symlinks (particularly since `iterdir` currently treats symlinks to directories as directories). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36602> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
