[Tutor] python win32 drive mapping help

[Vineet Kothari]

So What should be the attributes for the command?

I tried this:

win32net.NetUseDel(None, 1,{'local':'k:'})
>

 but I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "test.py", line 33, in <module>
>     win32net.NetUseDel(None, 1,{'local':'k:'})
> TypeError: an integer is required

So what should be the attributes for the NetUseDel?

Thanks!
