title: Can modules be added to the Python search path (e.g site-packages dir) using symbolic links on Windows?
body: <p>I tried to create a symbolic link in the Python site-packages directory using the <code>mklink /D</code> syntax (on a Windows 7 machine). Unfortunately the module is not found when using import clause. When I copy the module physicaly to site-package directory, it works OK. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not possible on Windows?</p>
  
  <p>I am using Python 2.6.</p>
