Not clear why you expect that a Windows specific tag as
IO_REPARSE_TAG_APPEXECLINK should be supported on a Posix platform ?

Moreover all the documentation from MS seems

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-fscc/c8e77b37-3909-4fe6-a4ea-2b9d423b1ee4

that seems a bit short to help third party in properly using it.

Regards
Marco


PS: Python 3.8 is available as Cygwin binary
