Ned Batchelder <ned...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: This breaks virtualenv3 on Python 3.2, which simply test for the existence of os.symlink, which then fails for lack of privileges. Perhaps an os.can_symlink() method, returning a boolean? It can request privileges if you like, but provides a simple test that lets scripts know whether they should attempt a symlink or not.
