Mapping a drive to a network path

[Thierry Lam]

In DOS, if I want to map a network path to a drive, I do the following:

net use z: \\computer\folder

How do we do something similar in python?

Thanks
Thierry

import os
os.system(r"net use z: \\computer\folder")

Something in the win32net module of win32all may be relevant if you
don't want to do it through os.system:
