Check out the following code snippet:

This code snippet requires the following 3rd party packages:
1. Mark Hammond's pywin32 (comes bundled with ActiveState versions of
Python)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
2. Tim Golden's wmi (requires pywin32)

There's also a Python mailing list dedicated to Windows API questions:

Good luck!
