I'm have difficulty finding any docs describing Python's expected symlink behavior.
I've tried testing it myself but I'm getting weird results - sometimes it appears to work for a while then stops working.
Anyway, I have a situation where MoinMoin keeps it's data files and plugin modules in the same directory but I need to keep the data files outside my git repository (I'm using Openshift PaaS) so it persists. So I want to create this symlink:
~/data/plugins/theme/ -> ~/repo/plugins/theme/
Should I expect this to work?
Should work just fine - symlinks are handled on the OS level, meaning as long as python isn't trying to determine if something is a symlink or not, calling an
openon it should just open the file it's pointing to.Is there anything in particular that isn't working? What are you seeing when it stops working?
