A simple search for "msdn CreateSymbolicLink" leads to the following page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363866.aspx

Scroll down to the requirements, and you'll see that
CreateSymbolicLink was added to Kernel32 (and NTFS) in Windows Vista
(NT 6.x). Kernel32 in Windows XP (NT 5.x) doesn't have that function;
hence the AttributeError.
