Linktastic

Linktastic is an extension of the os.link and os.symlink functionality provided by the python language since version 2. Python only supports file linking on NIX-based systems, even though it is relatively simple to engineer a solution to utilize NTFS's built-in linking functionality. Linktastic attempts to unify linking on the windows platform with linking on NIX-based systems.

Usage

Linktastic is a single python module and can be imported as such. Examples:

Hard linking src to dest

import linktastic linktastic.link(src, dest)

Symlinking src to dest

import linktastic linktastic.symlink(src, dest)
