I was going to say that it does not help, but then I found
win32file.GetDriveType

so for future reference, here is a solution that WorksForMe(tm)

>>> def IsMappedDrive(name):
...     allDrives = win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings().split("\x00")
...     return name.upper() in [drive for drive in allDrives if
win32file.GetDriveType(drive) == win32file.DRIVE_REMOTE]

>>> IsMappedDrive("z:\\")
True
>>> IsMappedDrive("c:\\")
False



..so thanks for the pointer
