For GetDiskFreeSpace, the argument *must* end in \, so you should use  
GetDiskFreeSpace('C:\\')
Using GetDiskFreeSpaceEx, it can be any directory. If you leave it, the  
current directory (or current disk) is used - this may or may not be the  
directory where the .py resides.
About the 2GB limit, it only applies to Win98 and earlier. Since the ...Ex  
function works on 98 too, unless you need to support Win95, it's easier to  
use that function.
And you can use UNC paths too, so it may even be used for querying  
available space on remote machines, but I've never tried it that way.
