Just revisited this to see if I could close off. One thing occurred to me which should have come up before: this situation will be aggravated by WOW64 file redirection.
If I run 64-bit Python on 64-bit Windows I can successfully stat links in %windir%\system32 under 3.4 and 3.3. If I run 32-bit Python on 64-bit Windows, I get the error you describe because Windows will silently redirect the 32-bit Python process towards %windir%\SysWow64 where the junction (or, possibly, its target) does not exist.
Given that I'm able to stat %windir%\system32 junctions on both versions, I'm going to close this as works-for-me. I think there's a case for a bigger-picture look at the resolution of reparse points across the stdlib but that would have to be its own issue. |
