Summary: os.stat errors when using shared drive on XP or NT

Initial Comment:
The problem is when a file is executed from a shared drive
then no letter drive name exists. So the result returned
by os.path.exists(os.getcwd()) does not return true.
Problem exists for both Active State and Idle on windows
for both XP and NT2000: The problem is with os.stat even
though the file open seems to work ok. Notice other
error for Active State Python.
