Antoine Pitrou added the comment:
The 2.7-compatible version of pathlib explains why the code is structured this way:
if sys.getwindowsversion()[:2] >= (6, 0) and sys.version_info >= (3, 2):
from nt import _getfinalpathname
else:
supports_symlinks = False
_getfinalpathname = None
In the stdlib version, I removed the `sys.version_info >= (3, 2)` and so it may look like as easy to rely on os.symlink raising NotImplementedError. That would make merging back more difficult, though, so I'd rather keep it like that.
