On unices, ismount checks whether the given path is a mount point. On windows, it only checks whether it's a drive letter. Long story short, Python simply returns False when doing ismount(r"c:\mount1"), while c:\mount1 is a real mount point. This is relevant for all modern windows versions. -- I'm using win32file.GetVolumePathName() for overcoming this, but I'm not sure if the os python package should be importing win32file, maybe there is a better way to check whether a path is a mount point..
