[python-win32] how to know the native file path of computer A on computer B

[Michael Li]

I forgot to mention that:
W: on computer B is a mapped network drive, which is
C:\shared on computer A.
So W:\database\test.DB on computer B and
C:\shared\database\test.DB on computer A are
pointed to the same file.
 From computer B, I only know the file path is
W:\database, when the program actually runs
on computer A, I need to know the real file path
C:\shared\database on computer A.

The folder itself is not the fixed, it might be
D:\aaa, also the mapped drive path is not fixed,
it might be X:\bbb.
