Skip directories when symlinking libraries for PyPy3
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The PyPy3 logic creates symlinks for all files from the library
directory existing alongside the PyPy executable.  This is meant
to ensure that the bundled libraries to which PyPy is linked can also
be found from inside the virtualenv.  However, this logic also symlinks
all directories which is unnecessary and causes library directory
collisions with the new install layout.  Change to logic to symlink
non-directories only.

A similar fix has been applied to the internal venv module in PyPy3.8:
