[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: [Tutor] making an alias of a folder

[Jack Jansen]

I was going to point you to the convenience routine 
macostools.mkalias(src, dst), until I tried it and noticed it didn't 
work for folders:-(

I've filed a sourceforge bug report (#515830), you may want to monitor 
this if you're interested in when this is fixed.
