[issue13775] Access Denied message on symlink creation misleading for an existing file/directory target.
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: issue13775, issue16074, and issue16812 all are virtually about the same bug. There is no working patch in any issue, but the discussion in issue16074 is longer. -- resolution: - duplicate stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed superseder: - bad error message in os.rename ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13775 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13775] Access Denied message on symlink creation misleading for an existing file/directory target.
Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de added the comment: I fail to see the bug. The output is correct, you are just misinterpreting it. It gives you the error code, error message, and original filename. It doesn't *actually* claim that the access to test is denied. Now, changing the file in the message to the dest file doesn't really improve things. It fixes your case, but breaks cases involving problems with the source file. So if any change is made, it should include both source and dest in the exception. -- nosy: +loewis ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13775 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue13775] Access Denied message on symlink creation misleading for an existing file/directory target.
New submission from Santoso Wijaya santoso.wij...@gmail.com:
Consider:
os.symlink('.\\test', 'Lib\\bar')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in module
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: '.\\test'
Where Lib\\bar is previously created. The symlink creation is rightly rejected,
but with a misleading message. The failure is because 'Lib\\bar' already
exists, not because of '.\\test'.
