Description of problem: When shutil.copytree() is used with symlinks=True and a symlink is pointing to a non-existent file an exception is raised even if ignore_dangling_symlinks is enabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python3-3.9.0-1.fc33.x86_64 Additional info: https://bugs.python.org/issue38523
Petr, is this something that needs to be tracked downstream?
According to the docs, ignore_dangling_symlinks only takes effect if symlinks is false: https://docs.python.org/3/library/shutil.html#shutil.copytree Should this be made more clear?
Thanks for clarification, Petr. Seems I've misunderstood the ignore_dangling_symlinks parameter and got confused by a traceback caused by wrong venv enabled. Feel free to close the issue if it does not make sense to track it here.
