New submission from Santoso Wijaya <[email protected]>:
Consider:
>>> os.symlink('.\\test', 'Lib\\bar')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: '.\\test'
Where Lib\\bar is previously created. The symlink creation is rightly rejected,
but with a misleading message. The failure is because 'Lib\\bar' already
exists, not because of '.\\test'.
