Partition names with Python

[Erhan Ekici]

Hi,

But some machines /proc/partition file is empty..
But /etc/fstab contain drives names..(sda1,sda2,cdrom,floopy etc)

For Example My Server(Slackware 9)'s /proc/partition file contain nothing.
I must take partition names on all Linux(Redhat,Mandrake,Slackware etc)..

Why do some machine's /proc/partition file contain nothing... 

Erhan,
