[New-bugs-announce] [issue15093] ntpath.isdir returns False for directory symlinks

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com>:

On Unix:

python -c "import os; os.mkdir('bar'); os.symlink('bar', 'foo'); print(os.path.isdir('foo'))"
True

On Windows:
python -c "import os; os.mkdir('bar'); os.symlink('bar', 'foo'); print(os.path.isdir('foo'))"
False

Windows should correctly discern the directory-ness of a symlink (especially since in Windows, the symlink itself has a directory-ness).
