I was under the impression that fdisk was older and more primitive, but
a quick check shows I'm probably not only wrong, but had it back
Hi, Peter
Thanks for the reply. I'll check popen().
But you said I should not rely on fdisk... Why ? And should I prefer
sfdisk ? Why ?

Hi, Jeff
Great help : this works like a charm. I think I can customize it to read
from sfdisk. Do you agree with Peter Hansen (post below) about fdisk ?

Somebody else posted a very similar question quite recently. A Google
Using /proc/partitions is probably preferable because any user can read
it, not just people who can be trusted with read access to drives, and
because the format of /proc/partitions is probably simpler and more
stable over time.
That said, what you do is
import commands
fdisk_output = comm
Hi, I'd like to get drives and partitions (and their size too) with
python under Linux. So far, I thought of reading /proc/partitions but
maybe i could use fdsik also ?
How would I do that in python ?
