Oscar,
I actually just want the functionality of a shortcut so that I can put an
icon on the desktop. symlink allows that in Unix (and a few other
capabilities that I'm not that intersted in) and just want something
equivalent to the menu item for making a shortcut in Windows.
At least in Windows 7+, you can use the mklink command (as administrator):
import subprocess
subprocess.check_call(['mklink',
'/D', #Use /H for a hard link
'\users\yourname\desktop\yourfile.txt',
'\path\to\yourfile.txt'])
HTH,
