Georg Brandl added the comment:
Most of the os functions don't specify that they raise OSError in the
case of invalid or inaccessible paths.
I've now added a general note to that effect in r59930.

New submission from David Gardner:
the docs for os.symlink at: http://docs.python.org/lib/os-file-dir.html
don't mention if the function raises an exception if there was a file
permission failure.
