A new procedure to construct symplectic methods for constrained mechanical systems is developed in this paper. The definition of a map coming from the notion of retraction maps allows to adapt the continuous problem to the discretization rule rather than viceversa. As a result, the constraint submanifold is exactly preserved by the discrete flow and the extension of the methods to the case of non-linear configuration spaces is straightforward.
