To add my twopence-ha'penny worth in, the recommended WMI technique is (apparently) to use the Win32_OperatingSystem.LastBootUpTime value: <code> import wmi for i in wmi.WMI ().Win32_OperatingSystem (): print i.LastBootUpTime </code> The time format is 20041202112313 with some -- apparently unused -- sub-seconds, so you'd have to faff about a bit with the numbers, but it is at least usable.
