Thanks Tyler, I did look at that but saw no way to tell it to use the entire disk.
Juanjo/Simon - Thanks, that was the only alternative I could think of but considered it long winded if there was a sort of universal option like Tyler suggested. I'll probably use sys.platform then. It's not much more coding to be fair, the docs show only 8 variations on the output for the different operating systems. I suppose I was more interested in seeing what's possible and trying to understand the language a bit better. Once I'm in the directory I am querying the SQLite files so that shouldn't be platform specific from then on I wouldn't have thought as I would use the sqlite3 python module? Thanks again for the fast responses. I should have just posted here instead of searching for two hours - Doh!
