Symlink Droplet

Although this can be easily adapted to work without MacPython's EasyDialogs, it would not make sense. This is meant to be an applet used to easily create unix symlinks from the Finder.

import os
import sys

import EasyDialogs
from EasyDialogs import Message

exec_path = sys.argv[0]
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    Message('Drag a file onto SymlinkDroplet')
else:
    i = exec_path.find("SymlinkDroplet")
    dir_path = exec_path[:i]
    for file_ in sys.argv[1:]:
       if os.path.isfile(file_):
           linkname = os.path.basename(file_)
           os.symlink(file_, os.path.join(dir_path, linkname))
