[issue28425] Python3 ignores __init__.py that are links to /dev/null

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

Since /dev/null is not a file according to os.path.isfile(), I'm going to close this as not a bug.

And to answer Antti's question, it's because the semantics come from the original C code where EAFP is not pleasant.
