kandi X-RAY | pyshortcuts Summary

pyshortcuts is a Python library typically used in Electron, macOS applications. pyshortcuts has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can install using 'pip install pyshortcuts' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.

Pyshortcuts helps Python developers and users create shortcuts that will run python scripts and other applications. The shortcuts created can go onto the users desktop or into the Start Menu (for systems with Start Menus) or both. Pyshortcuts works on Windows, MacOS, and Linux in the way that is most natural for each OS. On Windows, a Shortcut Link is created and placed on the users Desktop and in the Start Menu. On MacOS, a minimal but complete Application is created and placed on the users Desktop. On Linux a ".desktop" file is created and placed on the users Desktop (if that exists) and in $HOME/.local/share/applications (if that exists), which will often get presented in a Start Menu for windowing desktop themes that use a one. On all platforms, the shortcuts created on the Deskop or Start Menu can be put either directly onto the Desktop / Start Menu or in a sub-folder of the Desktop / Start Menu. Special attention is given to Anaconda Python. On Windows, this means the program linked to by the shortcut will be run in an Anaconda environment, explicitly selecting the "base" environment even if that has not been explicitly set. On MacOS, the shortcut will make sure to use the python.app application so that GUI programs will be able to draw to properly draw to the screen. By writing only to the users Desktop or application folder that gets read by the Start Menu, there is no need for elevated permission and no writing to system-level files (registry entries, /Applications, /usr/bin, etc). After the shortcut has been created, the user has complete control to rename, move, or delete it. 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 pyshortcuts. Pyshortcuts is pure python, small, easy to install, and easy to use from a python script. This means that Pyshortcuts can be made part of an installation (or post-installation process) process for larger packages.
