I’ve written a small Python library to access Microsoft NTFS hard links and directory junctions  that’s

• Pure Python: no C or pywin32
• Easy-to-use: the API follows Python’s own link APIs closely
• BSD licensed: thanks to the Mozilla Foundation.

You can get it on GitHub.

Update 20/4: Thanks to Roman Lacko the package is now on PyPI. To install, run pip install ntfsutils.
