GH-118447: Fix handling of unreadable symlinks in `os.path.realpath()` by barneygale · Pull Request #118489 · python/cpython

barneygale · 2024-05-01T20:43:32Z

Issue: posixpath.realpath('secretlink') raises #118447

barneygale · 2024-05-06T17:16:44Z

If not resolving unreadable symlinks is acceptable, you still need to raise an error for link/...

realpath() shouldn't raise OSError in non-strict mode.

nineteendo

OK, you're right, it shouldn't raise an error. That's what strict is for.

serhiy-storchaka · 2024-05-09T08:28:38Z

I think that it is reasonable to expect that realpath('dir/badlink/rest') returns the same result when badlink does not exist, is a file, is in non-readable directory or is non-readable itself, for any rest. It's error prone, but that's how it was defined.

nineteendo

Barney, would you like to continue working on this? You have my approval if it means anything.

Sorry, @barneygale, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.12 due to a conflict.
Please backport using cherry_picker on command line.

If no one objects, I'll skip backporting to 3.12 as this is a fairly minor bug and I can't be bothered to fix the conflicts :)
