After 1a3e8db28d49, Windows XP could not os.stat at all due to raising
immediately when GetFinalPathNameByHandle wasn't available (pre-Vista).
The proper behavior in that situation is to just not attempt a traversal
rather than outright rejecting.
This change additionally handles a failed malloc by setting the error code
and returning false.
Patch by Hirokazu Yamamoto.
Use of DeviceIoControl to obtain the symlink path via the reparse tag was
removed. The code now uses GetFinalPathNameByHandle in the case of a
symbolic link and works properly given the added test which creates a symbolic
link and calls os.stat on it from multiple locations.
Victor Stinner also noticed an issue with os.lstat following the os.stat
code path when being passed bytes. The posix_lstat function was adjusted to
properly hook up win32_lstat instead of the previous STAT macro (win32_stat).
Rather than wrapping the C _isdir function in a Python function,
just import the C _isdir function directly. Additionally, add in the
docstring which was left out.
By changing to the Windows GetFileAttributes API in nt._isdir we can figure
out if the path is a directory without opening the file via os.stat. This has
the minor benefit of speeding up os.path.isdir by at least 2x for regular
files and 10-15x improvements were seen on symbolic links (which opened the
file multiple times during os.stat). Since os.path.isdir is used in
several places on interpreter startup, we get a minor speedup in startup time.

#8278: In the Windows implementation of stat() and utime(),
use time_t instead of int. This gives support for dates after 2038,
at least when compiled with VS2003 or later, where time_t is 64bit.
........
In order to create symlinks on Windows, SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege
is an account privilege that is required to be held by the user. Not only
must the privilege be enabled for the account, the activated privileges for
the currently running application must be adjusted to enable the requested
privilege.
Rather than exposing an additional function to be called prior to the user's
first os.symlink call, we handle the AdjustTokenPrivileges Windows API call
internally and only expose os.symlink when the privilege escalation was
successful.
Due to the change of only exposing os.symlink when it's available, we can
go back to the original test skipping methods of checking via `hasattr`.
Amaury noticed that this was originally written in a way that would fail on
names that can't be encoded with the mbcs codec. Restructured the function
to work with wide names first then narrow names second, to fall in line
with the way other functions are written in posixmodule.c.
Additionally, the st_ino attribute of stat structures was not being filled
in. This was left out of the fix to #10027 and was noticed due to
test_tarfile failing when applying the patch for this issue. An earlier
version of the fix to #10027 included st_ino, but that attribute got lost
in the shuffle of a few review/fix cycles. All tests pass.
Note: This patch has no tests because as of now there is no way to create
links. #8879 adds that and the tests will go in there. I've manually observed
that existing links on my system function properly with this.
The test is semi-dumb, it just makes sure something comes back since we
don't have a solid source to validate the returned login. We can't be 100%
sure that the USERNAME env var will always match what os.getlogin() returns,
so we don't make any specific assertion there.
This uses the GetFileInformationByHandle function to return a tuple of values
to identify a file, then ntpath.sameopenfile compares file tuples, which
is exposed as os.path.sameopenfile.

Added Windows support for os.symlink when run on Windows 6.0 or greater,
aka Vista. Previous Windows versions will raise NotImplementedError
when trying to symlink.
Includes numerous test updates and additions to test_os, including
a symlink_support module because of the fact that privilege escalation
is required in order to run the tests to ensure that the user is able
to create symlinks. By default, accounts do not have the required
privilege, so the escalation code will have to be exposed later (or
documented on how to do so). I'll be following up with that work next.
Note that the tests use ctypes, which was agreed on during the PyCon
language summit.
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault*() doesn't use surrogateescape error handler, and so
PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject(v, Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, "surrogateescape")
cannot be replaced by PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault().
It's a bad idea to try to fix surrogates things in Python 3.1...
Create os.environb mapping and os.getenvb() function, os.unsetenv() encodes str
argument to the file system encoding with the surrogateescape error handler
(instead of utf8/strict) and accepts bytes, and posix.environ keys and values
are bytes.

Fix test_undecodable_env of test_subproces for non-ASCII directory
This test was introduced by r80421 (issue #8391).
The fix: copy the environment variables instead of starting Python in an empty
environement. In an empty environment, the locale is C and Python uses ASCII
for the default file system encoding. The non-ASCII directory will be encoded
using surrogates, but Python3 is unable to load a module or package with a
filename using surrogates.
See issue #8242 for more information about running Python3 with a non-ascii
directory in an empty environement.

Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.
This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.
This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
holding the import lock.
Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.
