I tried forward slashes: lst_p = open(os.path.normpath('//serverFQDN/sharename/dir/ filename'),'r').readlines() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '//serverFQDN/sharename/ dir/filename' BTW, this works on WinXP. It is as if it does not resolve, yet I have '//serverFQDN/sharename' mounted, proving that it does resolve. Is this an issue with the way python deals with the network? It does not seem like a network-only issue. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
