When I wanted to do this in a hurry and didn't have time to look up
the right way to do it, I ended up with code something like:
import comtypes
from comtypes.client import CreateObject
ws = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
from comtypes.gen import IWshRuntimeLibrary
shortcut = comtypes.cast(ws.CreateShortcut("test_shortcut.lnk"),
comtypes.POINTER(IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut))
shortcut.TargetPath = "cmd.exe"
shortcut.Arguments = "/K C:\Python24\python.exe"
shortcut.Save()
This worked for me, but may be bad practice or generally bogus in some
way or other.
I think I got there by reading
<http://www.ironpython.info/index.php/Creating_a_Shortcut_File_with_WSH_Interop>
then looking at the comtypes generated code, then poking things until
it stopped throwing exceptions.
