After laying this library to waste for 6 years, I have finally resurrected pysmb and fixed a crucial issue that has been plaguing pysmb for the past few years.

pysmb 0.4.5 will resolve the problem of retrieving large number of file information from remote SMB server. Previous versions will experience crashes in such situations as the remote SMB server is not able to return all the file information in a single request/response call. pysmb will “resume” the retrieval when necessary.

pysmb is now back online at http://miketeo.net/wp/index.php/projects/pysmb.

pysmb is a client-side SMB/CIFS module which I have written in Python during my university days back in 2000. During that time, there are a couple of SMB/CIFS modules that wrap around native C libraries. I needed a cross-platform solution to support common file operations with Windows and Samba shared folders and wrote pysmb.

After graduation, I had stopped actively maintaining pysmb due to work. Eventually, I migrated miketeo.net to a new web framework/layout and dropped pysmb. Now pysmb is back online. Hopefully, it can help those Python programmers who need a SMB/CIFS solution for their projects.

Enjoy!

I have discovered the following tools:

• pyexcelerator
• python2xlw

A search on google seems to reveal more entries and blogs on pyexcelerator than python2xlw. Will test and check out both later.
