Petri, Thanks for the patch. It would also be helpful to track -
shutil.copytree() use lutimes in Python 3.3 to copy symlink metadata if
symlinks=True. You can raise a feature request if it is not already raised.
Thanks!.

Hi Ezio,
It was intentional that I did not merge it to default. We want
shutil.copystat to use lutimes which is available in 3.3 and in which
case, we will have to remove this once that change is done.

Ezio Melotti ezio.melo...@gmail.com added the comment:
I applied it because the patch is valid on 3.3 too until we actually change
copystat to use lutimes. If/when shutil is changed the doc can be updated
accordingly.

Not actively confuse the user?

Shouldn't at least shutil.copytree() use lutimes in Python 3.3 to copy symlink
metadata if symlinks=True?

Python 3.3 (as yet unreleased) supports the lutimes function:

Python 2.7 is not getting any more features so it will not be added.
