using PowerShell from Python script for mounting shares

You need to be careful about "\" in string literals because backslash before some characters is the start of an escape sequence, while in front of other characters is just a backslash. "\\" is a single backslash. "\c" is not an escape sequence, but I had to look it up. When using backslashes in a string, as a backslash, use raw string to be safe.

I don't know if any of the network drive parts are correct, but this is how I would write.

script_file = 'C:/Scripts/somescript/Connect-0.ps1'
with open(script_file, 'w') as file :
    file.write(
        '$net = new-object -ComObject WScript.Network\n'
        fr'$net.MapNetworkDrive("Z:", "\\{host_name}\c$", $false, "domain\USER", "SOMEPASS")\n'
    )
print(subprocess.call(script_file))
