Do you mean the following is deprecated ?

From the documentation -

S_ISLNK( mode)
    Return non-zero if the mode is from a symbolic link.

As that page states, that's a function used to interpret a mode flag 
returned by os.stat, os.fstat, or os.lstat.  It obviously won't give you 
the result you're looking for if you use a stat function that *follows* 
symbolic links.
