Look for the win32con module, which defines (almost) all of the constants in
the Win32 API.  You should be able to use win32con.IOCTL_STORAGE_EJECT_MEDIA
as your parameter.  (Warning -- I haven't verified that this constant is
defined there, but this is the general format that works for most Win32
constants.)
