checking free disk space

[Pieter Claerhout]

Here's how you can do this on Windows:


#### START OF CODE ####
import string
import win32api
import win32file

def PrintSpaceReport(drive):
    sectorsPerCluster, bytesPerSector, numFreeClusters, totalNumClusters =
win32file.GetDiskFreeSpace(drive + ":\\")
    sectorsPerCluster = long(sectorsPerCluster)
    bytesPerSector = long(bytesPerSector)
    numFreeClusters = long(numFreeClusters)
    totalNumClusters = long(totalNumClusters)

    print
    print "Drive:     ", drive + ":\\"
    print "FreeSpace: ", (numFreeClusters * sectorsPerCluster *
bytesPerSector) / (1024 * 1024), "MB"
    print "TotalSpace:", (totalNumClusters * sectorsPerCluster *
bytesPerSector) / (1024 * 1024), "MB"
    print "UsedSpace: ", ((totalNumClusters - numFreeClusters ) *
sectorsPerCluster * bytesPerSector) / (1024 * 1024), "MB"

def main():
    AvailableDrives = []
    for i in string.split(win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings(), '\000'):
        if win32file.GetDriveType(i) == 3: # we only need fixed drives (no
CD drives)
            AvailableDrives.append(i[:-2])
    DriveInfo = []

    print "Drive free space report"

    for drive in AvailableDrives:
        PrintSpaceReport(drive)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
#### END OF CODE ###


Kind regards,


Pieter

On unix you can parse output of df, and on windows I'm not entirely sure
but doesn't dir command tell you how much space is left on drive? So you
can keep trying cd X:; dir; starting with C and until you run out of
drives..
You can tell if it's a cd if it's under 650mb and has no free space at all.
