Hi ChrisA I know it is not a python issue - I just thought some other python programmers might have come across the problem. I connect to a drive in a windows 10 computer smb://192.168.50.58/c from my mac but the drive is read only - i am looking for away to make the drive writable so I can make a directory on the drive from my python script.
