[issue29657] os.symlink: FileExistsError shows wrong message

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun added the comment:

A symbolic link is typically represented the other way around, from the point of view of the link pointing at the target. However, Python conceptualizes linking as something like a copy or rename operation, with source and destination filenames, and the current error message represents this point of view.
