Accessing a file in a network drive (python under win32)

Aki Niimu #1 / 5	Accessing a file in a network drive (python under win32) Hi everyone, I'm porting a program written in Unix to Windows environment. When I tried to open a file in a network drive (which is from SAMBA server) using tkFileDialog.askopenfile(), I got the following error message: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '//Evelyn/ms_share/python_win32/jt ag/t.py' However ... (1) It won't complain if I access a file in a local drive (ex) 'C:/config.sys' (2) I can open the file from IDLE python Shell Quote: >>> fd = open('//Evelyn/ms_share/python_win32/jtag/t.py', 'r') Does anybody have an idea what is going on here? I'm not export on Windows. But why can't Windows be more like Unix? Any info would be highly appreciated. Aki-

News M Claveau /Hamster- #3 / 5	Accessing a file in a network drive (python under win32) Hi ! I have the same problem. I had try / and \ it's equal. I have found than there are no problem, if there are no space into the pathname... I have too the problem with os.chdir but i have no problem if i "decompose" : os.chdir('E:\Program Files\toto\tutu') problem os.chdir("E:\\") no problem os.chdir("\\Program Files") os.chdir('toto') os.chdir('tutu') Sorry, i no found solution, but only infos (and re-sorry for my bad english).

Doug Glen #4 / 5	Accessing a file in a network drive (python under win32) Quote: > '//Evelyn/ms_share/python_win32/jt ag/t.py' Assign it as a string to a variable and use the variable. That is how I did it recently and I did not get any errors with it. I was using v2.1 if that makes any difference. ----- Doug

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\windows' because windows is on C: So Quote: >>> os.chdir('c:\\windows') helps and shows >>> os.getcwd() 'c:\\windows' Quote: > (2) I can open the file from IDLE Python Shell > >>> fd = open('//Evelyn/ms_share/python_win32/jtag/t.py', 'r') > Does anybody have an idea what is going on here? > I'm not export on Windows. But why can't Windows be more like Unix? I think before your open( ... ) command you changed your device. Quote: > Any info would be highly appreciated. > Aki- BTW In Python open( 'C:\\windows\\system32') is equivalent to open(r'C:\windows\system32') is equivalent to open( 'C:/windows/system32') The '\' is an escape-character to indicate special characters as Tab: '\t', newline: '\n' etc. or !!!!! Backslash: '\\' !!!!! To avoid '\\' you can use so-called raw-strings which start with an r' ... ' and you can write Backslash: r'\' Hope, I could help you Peter
