I'm trying to write a script to open a file on our (windows) network. The
file is located on a machine that is not part of the domain and requires a
separate user id and password to access. I tried using urllib2 and the
password_manager to authenticate but as some point urllib2 sees I'm trying
to access a local file and passes it off to os. The error message I get is:
"WindowsError: [Error 1326] Logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password: <file path.
Does anyone know of a better approach.
Urllib2 is used for making HTTP/FTP requests. When you open a file on
a network share, the networking is handled by Windows; as far as
Python is concerned, it's treated the same as a local file.
You could try something like this (untested):
os.system(r"NET USE \\computer\share password /USER:username")
# do something with file
os.system(r"NET USE \\computer\share /DELETE")
That should authenticate and de-authenticate you properly, but it
seems like a fragile way of doing it -- for one thing, I think it
would grant access to any other program running under your login
session. There may be a better way of doing this using the Windows
API. Alternatively, depending on your application, you might want to
consider using a simple web or FTP server.
