Documentation
The documentation forPath.symlink_to()[1] does not mention what happens when the source already exists, e.g.:
>>> from pathlib import Path>>> Path("source").symlink_to("target1")>>> Path("source").symlink_to("target2")Traceback (most recent call last): File "<python-input-2>", line 1, in <module> Path("source").symlink_to("target2") ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/pathlib/_local.py", line 789, in symlink_to os.symlink(target, self, target_is_directory) ~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: 'target2' -> 'source'(The same applies toos.symlink[2] by the way)
