Unless there's more to this than meets the eye, the answer's
really easy: just do it.

On Windows, you just do, eg:

import os

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk (r"\\computer\test"):
   # do stuff with stuff

Presumably on Linux you have to use whatever mechanism allows
you to address Windows shares in the equivalent way. Maybe

os.walk ("smb://computer/test") ?? I'm not really a Linux person,
I'm afraid
