OK, let's ignore the analogy. Everywhere else I've seen, arrows (or directed edges in a graph) point as SOURCE -> TARGET SOURCE -> DESTINATION (TARGET and DESTINATION are synonymous in this context) An example from math: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_(mathematics)#Definition ln has two arguments, LINKNAME and TARGET, so it's implied that LINKNAME -> TARGET In fact that's exactly what you see visually when you run ls -l In os.symlink, however, you have SRC <- DST which is weird. I agree that this weirdness is explained in grammatically correct English. Just because it's the first argument, we shouldn't call it src. The arg ordering is already confusing enough https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/541795/tips-for-remembering-the-order-of-parameters-for-ln ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44837> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
