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

Mounting is a pretty rare operation, so it's doubtful that there is any direct python way to do it.

Either use ctypes to do the operation directly from python, or else (and probably better), use subprocess to call the mount command (don't use os.system() - much better to use subprocess).
