AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'symlink' #8

I get the following traceback when I try to run "apptracectl init .". Is 
apptrace only supported on unix based systems?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Python27\Scripts\apptracectl-script.py", line 9, in <module>

FYI, this can be fixed by editing:
   C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\apptrace-0.2.3-py2.7.egg\apptrace\scripts\apptracectl.py

and replacing the references to os.symlink(srcname, dstname) with:

                try:
                    os.symlink(srcname, dstname)
                except:
                    import ctypes
                    kdll = ctypes.windll.LoadLibrary("kernel32.dll")
                    kdll.CreateSymbolicLinkA(srcname, dstname, 0)
