Check if symbolic link on Samba share with python -
can know python windows if files have access on samba share "real" files or symbolic links ? tried os.path.islink
returns false documentation states:
always false if symbolic links not supported
is there other way ?
i used pysmb access samba shares python , found according ms documentation (symbolic) link not taken account in protocol specification.
i tested smbclient under linux (ubuntu) , there no difference between links , directory.
so seems limitation of samba specification.
ps: project of mine aims scan recursively directory structure (samba share), can loop forever in case of symbolic link, since cannot determine if it's real directory or symbolic link.
