Or you could use WMI. The only trouble is that it seems
dreadfully slow (on my Win2K box):

<code>
import wmi

c = wmi.WMI ()
for connection in c.Win32_NetworkConnection (LocalName="G:"):
  print connection.Name
  break
else:
  print "Not a network drive"
</code>

No idea how this will interact with NetWare shares.
