cannot use the mac_alias package to generate an alias

Question

I have about 3000 files and I need to turn them into aliases so doing it by hand is not an option plus in the future I want to be able to do this automatically. I'm trying to use this package

https://mac-alias.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

The module only has three methods, for_file, to_bytes, from_bytes. I want to be able to generate an alias. I would think I would need to tell the computer which path I want the alias to occupy and which path I want the alias to point to. But I only see a method which creates some sort of object using the for_file method, but once that is done I cannot figure out what do with it.

In case I'm not being very clear I want to generate an alias which points to a file.

Answer 1

Technically this question was answered by mmmm. In any case, symlinks do bascially the same things as aliases. So if you want to create a symlink in python:

import os
os.symlink(source, destination)

And that should do it.
