dave is correct. you're assuming that the signatures of NetUse{Add,Del}() are the same, and they're not. i actually never use the 3rd arg and just make the call using 2 args: >>> win32net.NetUseDel(None, r'Z:') seems to work fine. i also read somewhere that win32net is the older 16-bit backwards-compatible way of doing things and that you should use the stuff in win32wnet instead -- i wonder if this is related to the OP error msg saying that win32wnet wasn't found... perhaps win32net just wraps win32wnet? anyway, here's how to do it using the win32wnet equivalents: >>> import win32wnet >>> win32wnet.WNetAddConnection2(1, 'Z:', r'\\remote\disk', None, 'user', >>> 'secret') >>> os.listdir(r'Z:\tmp') ['foo.txt', 'bar.txt', 'subdir'] >>> win32wnet.WNetCancelConnection2('Z:', 0, False) >>> os.listdir(r'Z:\tmp') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module> WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'Z:\\tmp/*.*' i also read online that NetUseAdd() cannot take a user arg... only password, so if the remote disk requires a username, then you must use the win32wnet interface. also note that the force param is required for WNetCancelConnection2(), so i pass in False for that (as opposed to getting the full constant from win32netcon). hope this helps! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com "Python Web Development with Django", Addison Wesley, (c) 2009 http://withdjango.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
