Maybe a win32net.WNetGetUniversalName() [expands drive to UNC name]
and win32net.NetGetUseInfo() [returns various info on UNC name
including status] will help you. I don't have a time to setup shares,
so I can't guarantee that this approach will work as you expect. First
function might raise an exception on disconnected devices, which you
will need to handle. You might also need win32file.GetDriveType() to
distinguish between remote and local drives.
