Problem

Python files that are under symlinked directories are not processed by pybabel.

Expected result

The ** glob pattern in the configuration file instructs pybabel to traverse recursively all sub-directories, including symbolic links.

Am I missing some option in my configuration or command line or is this a bug/missing feature? Thank you.

Background

• My python project has a complex structure that includes symbolic links to other directories and files.
• I want to extract a template file for all translation strings in the project including those under directories that are sym-linked.
• My configuration line includes [python: **.py].
• I am on Debian Linux.
