Hi folks:
How can I get information regarding the drives in the system?, using Python, off course ;)
The information must include (at least in part) the following:
The main issue about this task is that the solution must be preferable unix-like, but it will be better if the solution can be multiplatform.
Thanks in advance
The answer to this question really depends on what platform your developing for. There's no one answer that will work cross platform.
I haven't found an easy way to find all the information for Linux (other than looking through various configuration files, and the output of other programs). The os.statvfs is also very useful.
For Windows, you can use the WMI interface for python written by Tim Golden to find all this information. See: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi_cookbook.html
for details.
Thanks int3grate for the quick answer. I will have to deal with that.
Later I will study a class to abstract disparate filesystems, you can find it in http://code.google.com/p/pyfilesystem/
Or you can just run the 'list disk'
>>> f = open('listdiskcmd.txt', 'w')
>>> f.write('list disk')
>>> f.close()
>>> import os
>>> g = os.popen('diskpart /s listdiskcmd.txt > file.txt')
>>> g.close()
>>> h = open('file.txt', 'r')
>>> word = h.read()
>>> print word
