I've tried this on the command line and isdir() seems to work for symlinks.
# mkdir abc
# ln -s abc test
# touch def
# ln -s def test2
# python
>>> os.path.islink('test')
True
>>> os.path.isdir('test')
True
>>> os.path.isfile('test')
False
>>> os.path.ismount('test')
False
>>> os.path.islink('test2')
True
>>> os.path.isdir('test2')
False
>>> os.path.isfile('test2')
True
you could try this on you system.
