Background:
My sys admin at my company is determined to keep switching the mount point of path "/u". (in Unix/Linux). So /u gets mounted to /a/b/c one week, then it gets mounted to /a/b/x the next by means of an automounter. The automounter sees a 'cd /u/username' request and automounts /u to /a/b/c using a symbolic link. So /u/username becomes /a/b/c/username but the user only sees /u/username at the command line prompt.
Problem:
My wxPython program uses DirDialog to allow the user to select a directory. But when the user types in /u/username, it will not follow the symbolic link to /a/b/c/username.
Questions:
Is DirDialog written to follow symbolic links?
Is there a configuration switch/argument to pass in to turn it on?
Any suggestions as to how to get DirDialog to follow a symbolic link?
Thanks!
