RE: [Python-Dev] Function in os module for available disk space, why not?

Here's a radical suggestion: Start a x-platform project on SourceForge, devoted to producing a C library with a common interface for platform-dependent crud like "how big is this file?" and "how many bytes free on this disk?" and "how can I execute a shell command in a portable way?" (e.g., Tcl's "exec" emulates a subset of Bourne shell syntax, including redirection and pipes, even on Windows 3.1). OK, that's too useful. Nevermind ...
