mac_alias lets you generate or read binary Alias and Bookmark records
from Python code.
While it is written in pure Python, some OS X specific code is required to generate a proper Alias or Bookmark record for a given file, so this module currently is not portable to other platforms.
Credit is due to Wim Lewis wiml@hhhh.org, whose work on reverse engineering the alias format was extremely useful in writing this code. Alastair Houghton alastair@alastairs-place.net was responsible for reverse engineering the bookmark format.
See the documentation_ for more information.
