Brett: I don't really have a constructive opinion on this matter. I could suggest putting a bit more logic in py_compile.compile(cfile=...) to revert to the old behavior if we specify an already-existing target, in order to fix the other reported issue that custom permissions set on the target file are lost. But I would understand if you decide that this is not compatible with the gains of atomic file creations. I only have a problem with replacing block devices with regular files. I don't have a particular opinion if the target file is a symlink (as long, of course, as it doesn't lead to whatever it points to being replaced, but it shouldn't). |
