I created #10540 for this issue, but the patch I have on there is just a bad hack. I need to fix os.path.samefile for hard links, which might be easier if we keep st_ino data in stat structures on Windows.
MSDN says, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363788%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
In the NTFS file system, a file keeps the same file ID until it is deleted.
Hard link can be live in NTFS only, so maybe we can say st_ino data is valid until hard links are established. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
