[issue13412] No knowledge of symlinks on Windows

[Brian Curtin]

Brian Curtin <brian at python.org> added the comment:

I think we could still make os.listdir work properly. I'll look into a patch for this.

One "problem" here is the testability, since we'd need to rely on the mklink CLI app to create the symlinks, which requires that the calling application (python.exe) has elevated privileges. It wont be exercised by any of the buildbots.
