Yes, the directory is a net share. On a local hard drive I do not experience
this problem.
If I ask for *.py I get a list back that includes the file. If I ask for
"BSTI*" I get back a list of 1 element, the file. But if I ask for
"BSTImport.py" it hangs.
My experiments with Dir$() in Visual Basic , reported earlier, strongly suggest
the problem is that Windows FindNextFile function simply keeps returning the
file name forever.
I've reported this to the people running the server, though it certainly could
be a problem on my local machine.
I code in C, but don't have a development environment handy. Hence the test in
VBA.

That's quite bizarre. The code for win32api.FindFiles is
straightforward. Is this a special directory, like a net share or
something? If you ask for *.py, is BSTImport.py in the list you get back?
Do you code in C? You might code up a trivial C app to run a
FindFirstFile/FindNextFile loop with the same parameters to see if the
same thing happens. Of course, I'm not sure what the next step would
be, whether that worked or failed.
