AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'link'. Did you mean: 'unlink'?

BUG

What I did:

import ZODB # just import & run

What I expect to happen:

Run without errors

What actually happened:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/accomp_files/iiec_run/iiec_run.py", line 31, in <module>

What version of Python and Zope/Addons I am using:

Python: 3.11.4
Zope/Addons: None
Platform: Android 13 Arm64
Application: Pydroid 3

[icemac]

Android 13 is not officially supported by ZODB.

Are you sure you have a complete Python installation on your device?
According to https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.link os.link should exist on any Unix or Windows.

The failing code is in

ZODB/src/ZODB/blob.py

Lines 931 to 950 in 783610f

	if sys.platform == 'win32':
	# On Windows, you can't remove read-only files, so make the
	# file writable first.
	def remove_committed(filename):
	os.chmod(filename, stat.S_IWRITE)
	os.remove(filename)
	def remove_committed_dir(path):
	for (dirpath, dirnames, filenames) in os.walk(path):
	for filename in filenames:
	filename = os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
	remove_committed(filename)
	shutil.rmtree(path)
	link_or_copy = shutil.copy
	else:
	remove_committed = os.remove
	remove_committed_dir = shutil.rmtree
	link_or_copy = os.link

Here different options are set for different OS.
To be successfull you need either os.link or at least shutil.copy, so try to modify the code to use the latter one and report back your findings.

According to this solution pyodide/pyodide#3880 (comment), I could resolve the issue by the following hack:

# --- <hack>
import os
print(hasattr(os, 'link')) # --> False
os.link = os.symlink
print(hasattr(os, 'link')) # --> True
# --- </hack>
import ZODB # just import & run
# imported successfully

I just hit another error:

False
True

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
