I'm not sure this will give you what you need, but you can use use WMI 
calls if all machines are Win2k/WinXP:

## begin script ##
from win32com.client import GetObject

# use a dot (.) for local computer
wmiObj = GetObject("winmgmts:\\\\COMPUTERNAME\\root\\cimv2")
diskinfo = wmiObj.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
for disk in diskinfo:
     print disk.Name, disk.FreeSpace
## end script ##

Example output:
A: None
C: 9364439040
D: 692006912
E: None

The WMI interface is pretty well detailed here, you just have to 
translate everything from VBScript:

You may need to combine several different calls to the WMI to get 
exactly what you need based on your requirements.

Hope it helps,
