Pyshortcuts helps developers and Python users to create shortcuts on a
Users Desktop or Start Menu that will run python scripts and applications.
Pyshortcuts is cross-platform, supporting Windows, MacOS, and Linux each in
the way most natural for the OS. On Windows, a Shortcut or Link is
created. On Linux a ".desktop" file is created. On MacOS, a minimal
Application is created. In all cases, the shortcuts are put either
directly on the Desktop or Start Menu , or in a folder on the Desktop or
Start Menu of the current user. That means that there is not need for
elevated permission or writing to system-level files (registry,
/Applications, /usr/bin). The user has complete control to rename, move,
or delete the shortcut after it is created. Shortcuts can have a custom
icon (`.ico` files on Windows or Linux, or `.icns` files on MacOS)
specified, defaulting to a Python icon included with the pyshortcuts
module. Pyshortcuts is pure python, has a small footprint and is very easy
to install and use either from a python script. That is to say, it can
easily be part of a installation (or post-installation process) process for
larger packages.
