Cool! The only thing I would suggest to change
is to use QueryInterface instead of cast:
> import comtypes

> ws = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
> from comtypes.gen import IWshRuntimeLibrary
shortcut =
ws.CreateShortcut("test_shortcut.lnk").QueryInterface(IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut)
> shortcut.TargetPath = "cmd.exe"
> shortcut.Arguments = "/K C:\Python24\python.exe"
> shortcut.Save()
