It's quite possible to do WMI in Python without using
the wmi module -- all the module does is to hide some
slightly messy plumbing. But the OP doesn't suggest
that he's unwilling to install anything, merely to *use*
WMI. (Unless you _are_ the OP under a different alias).

Just to make it plain: it's no skin off my nose at all. I
don't get offended because someone doesn't want to
use WMI. I'm merely curious as to whether it was
because the wmi module was too hard, or whether
the machines were Win9x or NT, where you have to
go out of your way to install WMI, or whether there
was some other reason.
