If you are looking for a more Unix-like Python, then the Cygwin version would probably be better. If Windows-like, then the native Windows version would probably be better. The OP seem to be interested in a Cygwin Python solution -- not a Windows one. So, I was just clarifying that the win32api module is not supported under Cygwin Python.

Re: Fwd: how to find the drive in python/cygwin?
Hi All--
Use win32api to find drives:
cut here
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
import os.path
import win32api
import sys
def findAllDrives():
Drives=[]
print "Searching for drives..."
drives=win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings().split(":")
for i in drives:
dr=i[-1].lower()
if dr.isalpha():
dr+=":\\"
inf=None
try:
inf=win32api.GetVolumeInformation(dr)
except:
pass # Removable drive, not ready
# You'll still get the drive letter, but inf will be None
Drives.append([dr,inf])
return Drives
if __name__=="__main__":
drives=findAllDrives()
for i in drives:
print i[0],i[1]
cut here
Metta,
Ivan
