[Python-Dev] Help! Vista symlinks and IDLE

["Martin v. Löwis"]

Apparently, if you install Python into a localized
version of \Program Files on Vista (such as \Programas,
or \Programmer), IDLE fails to start; see
http://bugs.python.org/3881

Apparently, Tcl cannot properly initialize on such a system,
and apparently, this is related to these folders being
symlinks.

It would be good if anybody who has access to such a system
can diagnose what the specific problem is, how to reproduce
it on a system that has the English version of Vista
installed, and preferably, how to solve the problem.

Regards,
Martin
