Changing drives under DOS/Windows.

I wrote a small application in python to perform a little data
massage using Python on the Mac. In porting to a Windows networked
environment, I've run into one problem. One the Mac, the program was
individually installed on each machine, so there wasn't any problem
with using multiple drives at the same time (I don't think there would
have been, since the naming is so simple). On the DOS network, the
program starts on one "drive" but needs to change to a separate
logical drive to continue. The os.chdir() finction doesn't seem to
allow this, and I could not locate a function in the dos module that
would do that.
So, how do I do the equivelent of entering "H:" at the DOS prompt?
Please e-mail or post; I check the list regularly.
Thanks!
