[New-bugs-announce] [issue13837] test_shutil fails with symlinks enabled under Windows

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

This happens when symlinks are enabled under Windows. This doesn't affect any buildbots since they don't run the tests as administrator (or they are not recent enough to have symlink support):
