problems with os.path.isdir on windows shares (i've read the FAQ)

[Roger Upole]

This used to work (1.5.2 maybe ?), and I got bit pretty bad when it stopped.
Had a small function to copy a file to either a full path or into a
directory,
as determined by os.path.isdir.  After upgrading, the results weren't pretty
the
first time I tried to copy a file to a share.
I had to replace os.path.isdir(pathname) with
win32file.GetFileAttributes(pathname) & win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY
to get around it.
