[Python] Mounting a Windows share on MacOS Sequoia

How do I mount a Windows server file share in MacOS in python?

An error results from this code (MacOS Sequoia, Windows Server 2022, VSCode, python 3.12.6):

from contextlib import contextmanager
import os
import shutil
import subprocess

remote_share = '//userassword@10.0.0.100/remote_share_folder'
local_folder = 'local_folder'

@contextmanager
def mounted():
retcode = subprocess.call(['/sbin/mount_smbfs', remote_share, local_folder])
if retcode != 0:
raise OSError("mount operation failed")

try:
with mounted():
shutil.copy(os.path.join(remote_share, 'textfile.txt'), local_folder)
except OSError as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")

Error: mount operation failed mount_smbfs: server connection failed: No route to host
