Nick Coghlan added the comment:

As per issue 1311, the exists returns True <-> stat will work equivalence is 
deliberate. We'll have to find a different way to resolve issue 20053 on 
Windows.

Due to the special files on Windows, the only reliable cross-platform way to 
find out whether or not *open* will work on a given filename is to actually try 
it.

----------
resolution:  -> invalid
stage: test needed -> committed/rejected
status: open -> closed
