os.symlink can be used to create a symbolic link. Here is the minimal boilterplate code without error handling.

#!/usr/bin/python3
import os

src="/usr/local/bin/kubectl1.23.6"
dst="/usr/local/bin/kubectl"

os.symlink(src, dst)

Here is a more practical example, with try/except/else error handling.

#!/usr/bin/python3
import os

src="/usr/local/bin/kubectl1.23.6"
dst="/usr/local/bin/kubectl"

try:
  os.symlink(src, dst)
except Exception as exception:
  print(f"Got the following exception when attempting to create a symbolic link (symlink) from {src} to {dst} - {exception}")
else:
  print(f"Successfully created a symbolic link (symlink) from {src} to {dst}")
