os.symlink(src, dst, target_is_directory=False, *, dir_fd=None)

    Create a symbolic link pointing to `src` named `dst`.

It's a bit like saying

find(needle, haystack)

    Finds `haystack` in `needle`

If you look at the manpage ln, it says
ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME

So os.symlink isn't consistent with ln
