How do I mount a filesystem using Python?

Question

I\'m sure this is a easy question, my Google-fu is obviously failing me.

How do I mount a filesystem using Python, the equivalent of running the shell command

Answer 1

You can use Python bindings for libmount from util-linux project:

import pylibmount as mnt

cxt = mnt.Context()
cxt.source = '/dev/sda1'
cxt.target = '/mnt/'
cxt.mount()
