Message219234
Requesting re-open of this issue, using --closes to force no symlinks to be created still results in venv trying to create symlinks.
I'm using Python 3.4 with the following command inside a vagrant Ubuntu 14.04 virtualbox image. The folder is a SMB mount from a windows host, which does not allow symlinks.
Expected behavior: os.symlink() is never called when you run:
python3.4 -m venv --copies
Actual behavior: os.symlink() is still called in a few places such as:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/b8e4bb1e1090/Lib/venv/__init__.py
line: 147
line: 215
I have a fix for line 215 that I'm testing now (basically just need to call copier() instead of os.symlink()).
I don't want to mess with line 147 due to it being OSX specific and I have no way to test it. But in theory it should also just be a call to copier() |
