.. function:: symlink(source, link_name)
symlink(source, link_name, target_is_directory=False)
Create a symbolic link pointing to *source* named *link_name*.
On Windows, symlink version takes an additional, optional parameter,
*target_is_directory*, which defaults to False.

symlink(source, link_name, target_is_directory=False)
On Windows, a symlink represents a file or a directory, and does not morph to
the target dynamically. For this reason, when creating a symlink on Windows,
if the target is not already present, the symlink will default to being a
file symlink. If *target_is_directory* is set to ``True``, the symlink will
be created as a directory symlink. This parameter is ignored if the target
exists (and the symlink is created with the same type as the target).

The *SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege* is required in order to create symlinks.
