WNetConnect Files

WNetConnect is a python class (NetAddConnection) that exposes Win32 mpr.dll functions

    - WNetAddConnection2A  - a function that can redirect a local device to a network resource such as a webDAV drive
    - WNetUseConnection    - a function that can redirect an unused local device to a network resource
    - WNetCancelConnection - disconnects a local device from a network resource
    
Using NetAddConnection looks like this in python:

    nac = NetAddConnection()

    #mount WebDAV server at http://localhost:8081 on X:
    result = nac.GetNetworkConnection('X:', 
                                      'http://localhost:8081', 
                                      'bob@shinkuro.com', 
                                      'bob')
    assert result, 'GetNetworkConnection failed'
    
    #disconnect X:
    result = nac.Disconnect('X:', False)
    assert result, 'Disconnect failed'

    #mount WebDAV server at http://localhost:8081 on the next unused local device
    #returns the local device or None
    result = nac.GetUnusedNetworkConnection('http://localhost:8081', 
                                            'bob@shinkuro.com', 
                                            'bob')
    assert isinstance(result, basestring) and len(result) > 0, 'GetUnusedNetworkConnection failed'
    print 'connected to %s' % result

    #disconnect the local device mounted above
    result = nac.Disconnect(result, False)
    assert result, '2nd Disconnect failed'
