I'm writing a script in python.
I want to create a symlink to a file that doesn't exist.
os.symlink fails in this case.
Is there a way to force to link?

What OS are you on? `os.symlink` seems to be able to do this on MacOS and Linux. Can you provide a [mre]? – pcarter Nov 01 '20 at 23:15

As a little workaround: just create a new empty file at the destination, create the symlink and delete the file? – seven_seas Nov 02 '20 at 02:47
