Hello Steve,

Samba is already installed and configured on the Linux machine. Can I 
just use file=open(<path_to_my_windows_share>,'w') in Python to mount 
the windows share and create the file?
By the way, your book "Python Web Programming" is one of the best python 
books I have read! Really good work!
