Comment 14 for bug 81689

My project, jaraco.windows, adds symlink support to Python under Vista and later. Just easy_install jaraco.windows, then "__import__('jaraco.windows.filesystem').windows.filesystem.patch_os_module()". It adds 'symlink' to the os module, which may be sufficient for bazaar to support symlinks. One caveat is if you're creating a symlink to a directory that doesn't exist, you must supply a third parameter, target_is_directory=True, to the symlink call (otherwise Windows will assume the link is to a file).
