Not the prettiest, but if you want to know if the SHARE is read only,
you can do a functional test.

import os, tempfile

def check_write(filename):
    try:
        fd, fn = tempfile.mkstemp(dir=os.path.dirname(filename))
        os.close(fd)
        os.remove(fn)
    except:
        return False
    else:
        return True

Does Windows Explorer show files on the share as read only when you
view their properties? It all depends on whether Samba advertises the
share's read only state via file attributes, looks like it does not.
