[FONT=Courier, Monospaced]I access python from a network share. This works fine on XP but on
windows 7 it throws the following error:
[/FONT][FONT=Courier, Monospaced]Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec 4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.1500 32 bit

[/FONT][FONT=Courier, Monospaced]Is there some security policy that I need to enable/disable to use
python from a network on windows 7?

[/FONT][FONT=Courier, Monospaced]It works without any issue on win7 if I copy python to my local drive.
Also, accessing python from the same network share works fine on win
XP. So I am suspecting some security policy of win7 that is causing
problem while accessing it over a network share.
