| As discussed in issue 12183, shutil.copytree(..., symlinks=True) should copy the metadata of symlinks instead of the metadata of the file that the symlink refers to. This can be achieved by using os.lstat() and os.lutimes() (new in 3.3) on symlinks. | ||

| Keep in mind that os.lutimes() may not be available on the platform so the patch will need to test for that. | ||

| Added issue 12715 as a dependency for this issue, as shutil.copy2(src, dst, symlinks=True) would be an obvious way to implement this. | ||

| I think this issue fixed in changeset 74194:cf57ef65bcd0. See: http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/cf57ef65bcd0#l2.75 | ||

| Yeah. Seems that fixing #12715 automatically also fixed this, so closing as duplicate. |
