[issue15281] pyvenv --symlinks option is a no-op?

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk> added the comment:

Following discussions on python-dev, the default is always to symlink, except on Windows (no support for true symlinks on XP and older) and Mac OS X (problems with framework builds). The --symlinks indicates, on those platforms where symlinks is not the default, to use symlinks anyway. This will most likely only be useful on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X with a non-framework build of Python.
