first, install the requirements
pip install pywin32
pip install winshell
then this is the code you have to write.
import os, winshell
from win32com.client import Dispatch
path = r"H:\happy\hi\new.lnk" # Path to be saved (shortcut)
target = r"D:\New folder\new.exe" # The shortcut target file or folder
work_dir = r"D:\New folder" # The parent folder of your file
shell = Dispatch('WScript.Shell')
shortcut = shell.CreateShortCut(path)
shortcut.Targetpath = target
shortcut.WorkingDirectory = work_dir
shortcut.save()
