Hi comp.lang.python group,

I'm trying to make a zip archive with shutil.make_archive, but it seems that it doesn't support symbol links, after creating a archive with shutil.make_archive, all the symbol links would be lost.

What I want is something like `zip -y`, which "stores symbolic links as the link instead of the referenced file", is it possible to do in pure python? I also looked into the zipfile module, but it mentions no symbol links.

Thanks.

Cheng
