You also might want to take a look at KDirStat (http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/) and its win32 counterpart, WinDirStat (http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/). > "du" is closest to what I was looking for, but is not immediately > cross-platform: I know I can probably get it through Cygwin, and there > is probably a win32 binary or clone around somewhere Try http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ ... much quicker to set up than Cygwin. A pure Python port of du (and other unix utilities) would be cool, though. --Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
