You should be able to use ctypes for this. For example, the following
works fine from CPython (I don't have IronPython handy on this
computer):
from ctypes import windll
windll.kernel32.CreateSymbolicLinkA("c:\\py.exe", "c:\\python27\\python.exe", 0)
The only difference may be calling CreateSymbolicLinkW instead of *A -
the return value should be non-zero if it succeeds. Also, if you're
running ipy64.exe you may need to override
CreateSymbolicLinkW.argtypes with suitable values - otherwise it will
assume and it sometimes assumes wrong.
