我有一个Python 2.7程序，它必须创建一个过去修改日期的符号链接。我可以使用os.symlink()创建链接，os.utime()声明设置文件的访问时间和修改时间，但是当我在新创建的符号链接上使用os.utime()时，它会更改atime和符号链接所指向的文件的mtime，而不是符号链接的atime和mtime。
从Python代码设置符号链接的访问时间和修改时间的最佳方法是什么？
这是一个测试程序，它演示了我在做什么：
#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
import os, datetime, time
if __name__ == '__main__':
path1, path2 = 'source', 'link'
if os.path.exists(path1):
os.rmdir(path1)
os.mkdir(path1)
if os.path.lexists(path2):
os.remove(path2)
os.symlink(path1, 'link')
lstat1, lstat2 = os.lstat(path1), os.lstat(path2)
print("Before: {path1} atime {sa}, mtime {sm}, {path2} atime {la}, mtime {lm}".format(
path1=path1, path2=path2, sa=lstat1.st_atime, sm=lstat1.st_mtime,
la=lstat2.st_atime, lm=lstat2.st_mtime))
long_ago = datetime.datetime(datetime.date.today().year - 1,1,1,00,00,00)
long_ago_posix = time.mktime(long_ago.timetuple())
print("Desired: {path1} unchanged, {path2} atime {m}, mtime {m}".format(
path1=path1, path2=path2, m=long_ago_posix))
os.utime(path2, (long_ago_posix, long_ago_posix))
lstat1, lstat2 = os.lstat(path1), os.lstat(path2)
print("After: {path1} atime {sa}, mtime {sm}, {path2} atime {la}, mtime {lm}".format(
path1=path1, path2=path2, sa=lstat1.st_atime, sm=lstat1.st_mtime,
la=lstat2.st_atime, lm=lstat2.st_mtime))
这是我看到的不当行为。 ＆＃34;之后：＆＃34;时间变化为＆＃34;来源＆＃34;而不是＆＃34;链接＆＃34;，但反过来应该发生：
% ../src/utime_symlink_test.py
Before: source atime 1514931280.0, mtime 1514931280.0, link atime 1514931280.0, mtime 1514931280.0
Desired: source unchanged, link atime 1483257600.0, mtime 1483257600.0
After: source atime 1483257600.0, mtime 1483257600.0, link atime 1514931280.0, mtime 1514931280.0
% ls -ldT source link
lrwxr-xr-x 1 myuser staff 6 2 Jan 14:14:40 2018 link -> source
drwxr-xr-x 2 myuser staff 68 1 Jan 00:00:00 2017 source
相比之下，touch -h会根据需要更改符号链接的atime和mtime。
% touch -h -t 201701010000 link
% ls -ldT source link
lrwxr-xr-x 1 myuser staff 6 1 Jan 00:00:00 2017 link -> source
drwxr-xr-x 2 myuser staff 68 1 Jan 00:00:00 2017 source
也许从Python执行touch -h是我的最佳选择，但我希望能有更好的东西。

升级到Python 3.6并使用import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO
for_pd = StringIO()
with open('jasper.txt') as jasper:
print (jasper.readline(), file=for_pd)
line = jasper.readline()
complete_record = ''
for line in jasper:
line = ''.join(line.rstrip().replace(', ', ',').replace("'", ''))
if line.startswith(','):
complete_record += line.replace(',,', ',').replace(',', ' ')
else:
if complete_record:
print (complete_record, file=for_pd)
complete_record = line
if complete_record:
print (complete_record, file=for_pd)
for_pd.seek(0)
df = pd.read_csv(for_pd)
print (df)

follow_symlinks答案 1 :(得分：0)
正如@Barmar指出的那样，Python 3's os.utime()有一个参数follow_symlinks = False，它提供了提问者想要的行为。遗憾的是，Python 2's os.utime()不允许此参数。
Python 2的另一种选择是使用touch调用subprocess.call()命令。这实际上也适用于Python 3。但是，我只在Mac上测试过它。它可能适用于Linux，它预先安装了类似的touch实用程序和类似的进程调用约定。它没有在Windows上进行测试，除非您不介意安装touch实用程序，否则可能无法在Windows上运行。
这是问题的测试程序，重写以显示这三个选项。使用单个参数调用它，2.utime（失败），3.utime（成功，仅限Python 3）或2.touch（成功，仅限Mac或Linux）之一。默认值为2.utime。
import os, datetime, time, sys, subprocess
if __name__ == '__main__':
method = 'missing' if len(sys.argv) < 2 else sys.argv[1]
path1, path2 = 'source', 'link'
if os.path.exists(path1):
os.rmdir(path1)
os.mkdir(path1)
if os.path.lexists(path2):
os.remove(path2)
os.symlink(path1, 'link')
lstat1, lstat2 = os.lstat(path1), os.lstat(path2)
print("Before: {path1} atime {sa}, mtime {sm}, {path2} atime {la}, mtime {lm}".format(
path1=path1, path2=path2, sa=lstat1.st_atime, sm=lstat1.st_mtime,
la=lstat2.st_atime, lm=lstat2.st_mtime))
long_ago = datetime.datetime(datetime.date.today().year - 1,1,1,00,00,00)
long_ago_posix = time.mktime(long_ago.timetuple())
print("Desired: {path1} unchanged, {path2} atime {m}, mtime {m}".format(
path1=path1, path2=path2, m=long_ago_posix))
if method in ['missing', '2.utime']:
# runs on Python 2 or 3, always follows symbolic links
os.utime(path2, (long_ago_posix, long_ago_posix))
elif method in ['2.touch']:
# runs on Python 2 or 3, tested on Mac only, maybe works on Linux, probably not Windows
invocation = ['touch', '-h', '-t', long_ago.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M.%S'), path2]
subprocess.call(invocation)
elif method in ['3.utime']:
# runs on Python 3 only, changes links instead of following them
os.utime(path2, (long_ago_posix, long_ago_posix), follow_symlinks=False)
else:
print("Don't recognise option {0}. Try 2.utime, 2.touch, or 3.utime .".format(method))
lstat1, lstat2 = os.lstat(path1), os.lstat(path2)
print("After: {path1} atime {sa}, mtime {sm}, {path2} atime {la}, mtime {lm}".format(
path1=path1, path2=path2, sa=lstat1.st_atime, sm=lstat1.st_mtime,
la=lstat2.st_atime, lm=lstat2.st_mtime))
以下是Python 3 os.utime()成功：
% python3 ../src/utime_symlink_test.py 3.utime

Desired: source unchanged, link atime 1483257600.0, mtime 1483257600.0
After: source atime 1514961960.0, mtime 1514961960.0, link atime 1483257600.0, mtime 1483257600.0
