Apparently you weren't motivated enough...

This is not a Python question.  It's a Windows API question.
Go find the appropriate Windows API and you'll pretty much
have your answer.  There are tools called Google and
comp.os.windows* and such that would be of great help (in
conjunction with a little initiative).

*Then*, and only then, if you can't get it working but have
tried, is it really appropriate to ask here in the Python
forum how to do it.  Your question at the time would say something
like "I'm trying to use the WinGetNetworkSharesA() call to
retrieve a list of shares but this isn't working... see the
following traceback for details.  Thanks in advance for your help."

Or you can still just ask here for someone to do the work
for you.  That does often work, strangely enough.

(It's possible that the problem stems from a language issue.
If your English is such that you are finding it very difficult
to understand our responses, or to ask a more detailed question,
then my apologies for thinking you were rude.  It might help
you to say that this is the problem and then you might get
more direct help.)
