Hmmm...I think you should re-post to the Python win32 group. They'll
know the answer, if there is one. Here's the link to get signed up:

Also, you might take a look at the WMI module:

I'm pretty sure it can do that, but I don't know how. I did find an
article on it:

If you're better than I am, you can probably translate this to the
Python equivalent. Zenoss also has some monitoring software that's
open source Python code.
