[python-win32] Some questions about network shares ?

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

AFAIK it's not allowed to connect a network share more than once.
As my shares can already be connected through by another program,
I need to detect if a network share is already connected,
So I try to get a list of available network shares,
but I don't see the network shares, although they are available.


Attempt 1:
   import wmi
    c = wmi.WMI ()
    for share in c.Win32_Share ():
      print 'SSSSSSSSSSSSS', share.Name, share.Path

Attempt 2:
    import win32net
    import win32netcon

    COMPUTER_NAME = "" # look at this machine
    INFO_LEVEL = 2

    resume = 0
    while 1:
      (shares, total, resume) = \
        win32net.NetShareEnum (
          COMPUTER_NAME,
          INFO_LEVEL,
          resume,
          win32netcon.MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH
        )
      for share in shares:
        print 'PPPPPP', share['netname'], "=>", share['path']
      if not resume:
        break

A workaround, that seems to work correctly :
  try :
    os.path.exists ( Share_Name )
    return True
  except :
    print 'NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPP', Share_Name

  ... otherwise try to connect the share

Any better ideas ?

thanks,
