Just reached this issue independently (spent a few minutes debugging an error message like "FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: 'a' -> 'b'", where 'a' didn't exist...)

I agree with Rich on this - for me, the source of confusion was that the way Python uses the arrow notation is just swapped from how ls(1) uses it.

Stage is "patch review" but I couldn't find any PR for it; if we're good with Larry's solution then I'm happy to post a PR implementing it.
