Modern Unices disallow hard links to directories, as it makes the directory "tree" not a tree, so anything which performs a recursive walk must explicitly check for cycles to avoid infnite recursion. Older systems which allowed hard links to directories required root privilege to do so. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
