util: fix default termwidth() under Windows sys.stdout.write('-'*80 + '\n') or sys.stdout.write('-'*80 + '\r') do not work on Windows as they do on unix. On a 80 columns Windows console, the extra CR or LF are interpreted as if belonging to the next line, so the first command displays 2 lines (only one on unix) and the second one leave the line visible and move back to the following line. To avoid this, we sacrifice one column under Windows.

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
