New submission from Barney Gale <barney.g...@gmail.com>:
As of Python 3.3, `os.lstat()` and `os.lchmod()` are available as `os.stat(follow_symlinks=False)` and `os.chmod(follow_symlinks=False)`, but an equivalent change didn't make it into pathlib. I propose we add the `follow_symlinks` argument to `Path.stat()` and `Path.chmod()` for consistency with `os` and because the new notation is arguable clearer for people who don't know many system calls off by heart :) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 363681 nosy: barneygale priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pathlib.Path: add `follow_symlinks` argument to `stat()` and `chmod()` type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39906> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
