Hi SO community!
I searched a while but found nothing that helped me. Is there a way to check whether a drive letter stands for a shared drive/network drive or a local disc in python? I guess there is some windows api function that gives me that info, but I cant find it. Perhaps there is even a method already integrated in python?
What I am looking for is something with this or similar behaviour:
someMagicMethod("C:\") #outputs True 'is a local drive'
someMagicMethod("Z:\") #outputs False 'is a shared drive'
That would help me as well:
someMagicMethod2() #outputs list of shared drive letters
Thanks a lot in advance!
