I suspect pydev may have better, specific solutions, but what about just putting some code at the start of your program, such as:
if not hasattr(os, 'symlink'): os.symlink = None
Yeah, it's a hack, but, unless pydev does have specialized solutions (unfortunately I don't know of any, but then I'm no pydev expert;-), may be better than nothing...
