When attempting to make a symlink using a name that already exists, a FileExistsError is raised (and rightfully so), but it lists the source name rather than the destination name. However, the existing destination name is what causes the exception to be raised, not the existing source. Since the FileExistsError is WinError 183 and I haven't attempted this on another OS, I'm marking this as Windows-specific. Issue 13775 seems to be related.
