connect to server question

jay
Is there a way to connect to servers on OS X using Python?

Here's the code I presently use in a Bash Shell script:

/bin/mkdir -p /Volumes/A_Share
/sbin/mount_afp "afp://username:password@ServerBox/A_Share" "/
Volumes/A_Share"

Can something similar be done with Python?

Thanks!

You can always use os.system to do what the shell does, ie.

os.system("/bin/mkdir -p /Volumes/A_Share")
os.system('/sbin/mount_afp "afp://username:password@ServerBox/A_Share"
"/Volumes/A_Share" ')

In the case of mkdir, you could also use os.mkdir instead, or
os.makedir if you are uncertain whether intermediate directories
exist.
