eryksun added the comment: To check for a link on Windows, os.walk calls ntpath.islink, which calls os.lstat. Currently the os.lstat implementation only sets S_IFLNK for symbolic links. attribute_data_to_stat could also check for junctions (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT). For consistency, os.readlink should also read junctions (rdb->MountPointReparseBuffer).
