If you haven't already, get hold of the pywin32 extensions to Python:

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

They contain a *lot* of the Win32 API that you'll need. Including
the one you're after:

 
http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/win32api__GetDiskFreeSpaceEx_meth.html

So if you had the modules installed, the code would look something like 
this:

<code>
import win32api

n_free_user, n_total, n_free = win32api.GetDiskFreeSpaceEx ("c:/")
print ("Total disk size: %d bytes" % n_total)

</code>
