    path = win32pdh.MakeCounterPath((name, r'System', None, None, 0,
"System Up Time"))
    query = win32pdh.OpenQuery()
    handle = win32pdh.AddCounter(query, path)
    win32pdh.CollectQueryData(query)
    seconds = win32pdh.GetFormattedCounterValue(handle,
win32pdh.PDH_FMT_LONG | win32pdh.PDH_FMT_NOSCALE )[ 1 ]

    uptime = seconds / 3600


that works! ;)
