folder path with space giving error in subprocess.call
drivesToMap = ["R: \\server1folder", "G: \\server1folder withSpace"]
for eachDrive in drivesToMap:
call("net use " + eachDrive)
In python 3 on a windows 10 machine I am getting the following error for the code above :
System error 1232 has occurred.
The network location cannot be reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.
How do I resolve the space? When I type in the command from a doc cmd it works succussfully:
net use G: server1folder withSpace
python-3.x

You likely need to wrap the drive in an additional set of quotes, since net use is a command prompt command it is anticipating that the drive name (which has spaces) is actually multiple arguments instead of one.
For instance:
drivesToMap = ["'R: \\server1folder'", "'G: \\server1folder withSpace'"]

Unfortunately, that did not work. Gives me syntax error for net use. So, I tried drivesToMap = ["' R: '\\server1folder' ", "G: '\\server1folder withSpace' "] which gives original problem

Might try escape double quotes instead

Thank you. The escape double quotes worked. The catch was it had to be for the file path and not around the drive letter as such: drivesToMap = ["R: "\\server1folder" ", "G: "\\server1folder withSpace" "]. Thank you for the prompt response.
