GH-73991: Add follow_symlinks argument to `pathlib.Path.copy()` by barneygale · Pull Request #120519 · python/cpython

barneygale

Add support for not following symlinks in `pathlib.Path.copy()`.

On Windows we add the `COPY_FILE_COPY_SYMLINK` flag is following symlinks
is disabled. If the source is symlink to a directory, this call will fail
with `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED`. In this case we add `COPY_FILE_DIRECTORY` to
the flags and retry.

No news as `copy()` was only just added.
