I've written a patch for Python 3.1 that changes os.path so it handles
UNC paths on Windows. You can read about it at the Python bug tracker:

I'd like to gauge community interest in the patch. After all, it's has
been declined before; I submitted a similar patch for 1.5.2 way back in
1999. (You can read the details of that on the tracker page too.)
Having just implemented similar functionality elsewhere, I'm
up for it. Apart from other considerations, anyone who has gone
to the effort of clarifying the various holes and corners of
Windows drives, paths & UNCs gets my vote.
