I've never seen nor used NFS on Windows so I can't comment on NFS. Some time ago I did some experiments with links but I wasn't able to create a hard link on a remote SMB server. However Wikipedia claims that CIFS support hard and sym links. Your conclusion regarding server and client version sounds plausible. In my humble opinion links are aliens on Windows. I wouldn't use them to implement virtualenv. :) Christian _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
