Sijin Joseph added the comment:
Behavior for symlink is as follows
>>> os.symlink('non-existent-name', 'existing-name')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'non-existent-name'
The error message is misleading, but can be fixed using the patch attached to
issue13775
>>> os.symlink('non-existent-name1', 'non-existent-name2')
No error. This behavior is same on Windows and Linux. Seems odd, but can be
justified as ok behavior.
