I just 'stumbeld' over the (not yet documented) win32wnet module in
win32all-129

With that module it is even simpeler

Look at the 'new' wnet.py

# 'new' wnet.py -- uses win32wnet form win32all/build 129

from win32wnet import WNetAddConnection2, WNetCancelConnection2

PROVIDER = 'Microsoft Windows Network'
# If PROVIDER is an empty string, all the NetworkProviders are probed
# in the order defined in the ControlPanel->Network->Properties

def use (drive, host, user, passwd):
    remote = r'\\%s\%s' % (host, user)
    return WNetAddConnection2 (1, drive, remote, PROVIDER, user, passwd)

def unuse (drive):
    return WNetCancelConnection2 (drive, 1,
1)
