[When asking questions like this, include platform and version, as in
sys.version]

This would be an os specific operation.  If there is anything
standard, it would be in os module (and added since I last read it).
On unix, I believe you can read mount directory or use
os.system(command).  In Windows machine, there is a windows module. Do
