We briefly chatted about this on the os.link feature issue, but I never found a way around it.

How about implementing os.path.samefile in Modules/posixmodule.c like this? http://bugs.python.org/file19262/py3kfixkillpythonforshortpath.patch # I hope this works.

That's almost identical to what the current os.path.sameopenfile is.

Lib/ntpath.py opens both files, then compares them via _getfileinformation. That function is implemented to take in a file descriptor, call GetFileInformationByHandle with it, then returns a tuple of dwVolumeSerialNumber, nFileIndexHigh, and nFileIndexLow. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
