title: python copy files to a network location on Windows without mapping a drive
body: <p>I am running python in a non interactive session on windows and therefore I cannot map a network drive.</p>
  
  <p>Most of what I have researched on here and through google everyone suggests mapping a network drive and copying the files that way.</p>
  
  <p>On linux I would facilitate this with an smbmount but unfortunately the software I am working with is tied to windows.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any options for interacting with files via a UNC path?</p>
