New submission from flokX <accounts@fkcore.de>: Currently it is decided if to use the srcentry in the copy_function by checking if the copy_function is copy() or copy2(). This will fail if the copy_function is a modified copy() or copy2() function. To control if the copy_function gets a srcentry or srcname parameter, added the use_srcentry parameter. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 332923 nosy: docs@python, flokX priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add use_srcentry parameter to shutil.copytree() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35648> _______________________________________
