System calls over network

[Gabriel Leblanc]

Hello,

I am wondering if there's an easy way to do a system call to a file
that resides on the network.  Say for example I would like to call the
batch file which is located at

\\ComputerName\file.bat

I tried :

>>> import os
>>> os.popen("\\ComputerName\file.bat")
<open file '\ComputerName\file.bat', mode 'r' at 0x007E7760>
>>> os.popen("\\\\ComputerName\\file.bat")
<open file '\\ComputerName\install.bat', mode 'r' at 0x007E7B20>

Of course, I replaced ComputerName and file.bat with the correct
paths.

Any idea ?

Thanks !
