How to make shutil.make_archive support symbol links?

+1 vote
176 views

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.
