listing computer hard drives with python

[python newbie]

Sorry, I forgot to copy the list.

Looks like you are doing this on Windows.  Windows has a built in command call fsutil that would work in this situation.  The syntax would be:

C:\Documents and Settings\username>fsutil fsinfo drives

Drives: C:\ D:\ E:\

To find out the type of drive you can use:

C:\Documents and Settings\username>fsutil fsinfo drivetype c:

c: - Fixed Drive

On a side note you can call an external command via:

import os
os.system('fsutil fsinfo drives')
os.system('fsutil fsinfo drivetype c:')

I hope this helps.

PS: I am not sure about the privileges  that are required to run fsutil.

Disclaimer: I am new to python and programming.  This may not be they python way of doing things.
