“Junctions” sound like Linux/Unix “mount points”, plus Linux-style “bind mounts”. Except of course Dimdows puts it all into the NTFS-specific implementation, instead of at the virtual filesystem layer. So whereas Linux can handle these while letting you mix and match different filesystem types (ext3, XFS, even FAT32, etc), Windows cannot. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
