Problem with win32api function + using DLL "directly" in windows

[Dublanc, David]

I use this script (that I found in the newsgroup) and the result is not
correct. Is it possible to use Windows DLL libraries  library in Python ?
Because there is a
GetDiskFreeSpaceEx that seems to return the good results (thanks to Chris
Gonnerman who gives me the name of this function).

import string,win32api,win32file

def PrintSpaceReport(drive):
    sectorsPerCluster,bytesPerSector,numFreeClusters,totalNumClusters =
win32file.GetDiskFreeSpace(drive + ":\\")
    print  sectorsPerCluster, bytesPerSector,
numFreeClusters,totalNumClusters

    sectorsPerCluster = long(sectorsPerCluster)
    bytesPerSector = long(bytesPerSector)
    numFreeClusters = long(numFreeClusters)
    totalNumClusters = long(totalNumClusters)

    print "Drive : ", drive + ":\\"
    print "Freespace : ", numFreeClusters * sectorsPerCluster *
bytesPerSector / (1024**2), "MB"
    print "Totalspace : ", totalNumClusters * sectorsPerCluster *
bytesPerSector / (1024**2), "MB"

def main():
    AvailableDrives = []
    for i in string.split(win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings(),'\000'):

        if win32file.GetDriveType(i)==3:# We only need fixed drives (no CD
drives)
            AvailableDrives.append(i[:-2])
        DriveInfo = []


        print AvailableDrives
        for drive in AvailableDrives:
            PrintSpaceReport(drive)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
