Unfortunately a bit late in the game for os.name vs os._name! ;) So this capabilities testing is buggy, since symlink can be set to None in symlink = os.symlink if hasattr(os, 'symlink') else ( _symlink_win32 if platform.system() == 'Windows' else None ) which seems quite reasonable, but the can_symlink does not properly account for that possibility. I would suggest fixing the problem in the can_symlink function.
