ie \\servername\sh are\folder\file
afile = open( \\server\share\ folder\file, "r" )

advice on page 113 namely " use / regardless of the proclivities of the
underlying operating system".

Graham,
path=r"\\server name\sharr\fold er\file.ext"
works on my machine (I use it all the time).
Remember that backslash is an "escape" character so
you must us r"<path>" or double the number of backslashes
without the "r":
path="\\\\serve rname\\share\\f older\\file.ext "

What's the error? Can you provide a trceback?

Franz
P.S.: Im not sure but accessing a share on a machine NOT connected to a
network doesn't work since 2k and XP (worked on NT, though).

Are the above actual examples of the code you typed? If so, I suggest
reviewing the tutorial... strings in Python always require surrounding
quotation marks, either ' or ", and yours above have neither.
works like a champ.
using
'//server/share'
'\\\\server\sha re'
r'\\server\shar e'
C:\Documents and Settings\cary>p ython
ActivePython 2.3.2 Build 231 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.3.2 (#49, Nov 6 2003, 10:18:20) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information. import os
os.listdir('//pollux/hdc1')
['public', 'archive', 'store'] os.listdir('\\\ \pollux\\hdc1')
['public', 'archive', 'store'] os.listdir(r'\\ pollux\hdc1')
['public', 'archive', 'store']
BTW, thanks. I hadn't thought of using UNCs
