10:43PM <carpaski> Do you know how many people I 'corrected' about that bug? 10:43PM <carpaski> Don't use symlinks... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guess that settles this one.
Yes, but it CAN be fixed.. Brian, why haven't you fixed it yet? :P
Jstubbs are you sure of this? In some of our testing it seemed as if the python implementation of mkdirs() would fail if symlinks were involved. Thus why I closed it as cantfix.
So why not check if the path already exists instead of blindly attempting to create it (even if the creating function *should* not fail)?
Show me the CODE!
