I'm working on a project to implement a simple cross-platform file sharing protocol (using Python) that is similar to HTTP, and I have to write a GUI for Windows and Linux. But let's start with the harder one: Windows.
My question is: How do I implement a virtual partition that acts like a real file-system and is compleatly transparent to other programs? Should I make a virtual file allocation table for a FAT32 partition or simulate an NTFS? Or even further: How do I create a junction (or a hard link) to it in "My network places" or in "Entire Network"? If there are tools that could help me but written in C or C++, please let me know, I'll compile them to Python modules. Thanks forward for help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
