eryksun added the comment: The problem is that the 3rd party [lockfile][1] module assumes that if os.link exists it means hard links are supported for all file systems on a given platform. So in your case it gets stuck repeatedly trying an operation that can never succeed. This can probably be worked around in pip, for which you've already opened an [issue][2]. AFAICT, there's nothing to be done in Python's standard library.
