Python: Get Mount Point on Windows or Linux

Question

I need a function to determine if a directory is a mount point for a drive. I found this code already which works well for linux:

def getmount(path):
  path          


        

Answer 1

Here is some code to return the UNC path pointed to by a drive letter. I suppose there is a more slick way to do this, but I thought I'd contribute my small part.

import sys,os,string,re,win32file
for ch in string.uppercase:  # use all uppercase letters, one at a time
    dl = ch + ":"
    try:
        flds = win32file.QueryDosDevice(dl).split("\x00")
    except:
        continue
    if re.search('^\\\\Device\\\\LanmanRedirector\\\\',flds[0]):
        flds2 = flds[0].split(":")
    st = flds2[1]
    n = st.find("\\")
    path = st[n:] 
        print(path)
