title: Create broken symlink with Python
body: <p>Using Python I want to create a symbolic link pointing to a path that does not exist. However os.symlink just complains about "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:".. This can easily be done with the <em>ln</em> program, but how to do it in Python without calling the <em>ln</em> program from Python?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> <em>somehow I really messed this up :/ ... both answers below is correct</em></p>
