Comment (by adamv):
mklink is available in Vista and later, but is not without problems. Share
a folder containing links and then hit it with clients running XP, for
instance. The Python docs ( http://docs.python.org/using/windows.html
#finding-modules ) don't mention using mklinks on Windows either, so it is
perhaps better to adhere to the tradition of installing directly into
site-packages, using a .pth file, or adding a new folder to the
PYTHONPATH, rather than suggest using mklinks.
