Installation

To install:

Sneak Preview

Below is a simple example:

from win_unc import UncDirectoryMount, UncDirectory, DiskDrive

conn = UncDirectoryMount(UncDirectory(r'\home\shared'), DiskDrive('Z:'))
conn.mount()
print 'Drive connected:', conn.is_mounted()
conn.unmount()

You can also provide credentials like this:

from win_unc import UncCredentials

unc = UncDirectory(r'\home\shared', UncCredentials('user', 'pwd'))
conn = UncDirectoryMount(unc, DiskDrive('Z:'))

Or just connect the path without mounting it:

from win_unc import UncDirectoryConnection

conn = UncDirectoryConnection(r'\home\shared')
conn.connect()
