[issue23407] os.walk always follows Windows junctions

[Craig Holmquist]

Craig Holmquist added the comment:

Actually, it looks like there is already a way to create junctions and a test for them in test_os.  However, it includes this line:

# Junctions are not recognized as links.        self.assertFalse(os.path.islink(self.junction))

That suggests the old behavior is intentional--does anyone know why?
