Why can’t file system links occur without being registered on the file

system?

import virtuallinks
virtuallinks.link('on/a/dir/far/far/away', name='far_away_dir')
with open('far_away_dir/file.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write('hello world!')

virtuallinks simulates at least one link, without changing the file system.

Install it with:

$ pip install virtuallinks
