Unfortunately, no. In the original post above, you can see temp/bar points to C:\Users\jaraco\temp\foo, which exists. Yet os.readlink returns \\?\C:\Users\jaraco\temp\foo. That's the root cause of the issue with copytree.

I need a mechanically-reproducible technique to test dozens of projects against pre-releases on Windows. Historically, I've had Travis as my prime CI (non-existent Windows support) and AppVeyor for select projects that demanded some Windows testing. I've recently started migrating to Azure Pipelines, which has nice multi-platform support and that's why I've started catching these issues. Presumably, I'll be able to add a pre-release of Python 3.9 to the pipelines config at jaraco/skeleton - that will ensure that all projects I maintain going forward will get tested on the pre-release. |
