[python-win32] How to create Windows directory shortcut from Python

[G. Ken Holman]

Hi!

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to create a Windows directory 
shortcut (Windows equivalent of a linked directory) from within a Python 
application.

I can create a shortcut from the Windows Explorer by a right-click copy and 
selecting "Create Shortcuts Here" ... I'm looking for a Python solution to 
do the same action.

I had anticipated the Windows implementation of os.symlink() would have 
done it, but there appears to be no implementation of os.symlink() under 
Windows.

I could find nothing in a search of the archive of this list.

Thanks for any help you can be!

................. Ken
