How to check for remaining hard drive space in Windows?

[kevinliu23 at gmail.com]

HI,

I am new to Python and wanted to know how to check for the remaining
disk space on my Windows machine using Python? I was thinking of using
the command line "dir" and trying to extract the output from there.
But I'm not sure how to extract command line strings using Python
either.

Anyway help would be appreciated. :)
