The simple answer is: I'm not sure. If you experiment and find something which works, just use it! Something which SickMonkey made me return to your question. Are you trying to find the disk space available on a different machine (possibly on several different machines)? If so, then WMI is definitely your answer. You can run -- from your machine -- one piece of code which will attach to several different machines to give you the answer. (as per Sick Monkey's later post). If I've read too much into your question, well nothing's ever wasted on the internet. Here's some sample code which uses the wmi module from: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi.html <code> machines = ['mycomp', 'othercomp'] for machine in machines: print "Machine:", machine c = wmi.WMI (machine) # only consider local fixed disks for disk in c.Win32_LogicalDisk (DriveType=3): print disk.Name, disk.FreeSpace print </code> Yes, you could even write: for disk in wmi.WMI (machine).Win32_LogicaDisk (DriveType=3): but I'd find it a touch unwieldy. YMMV. HTH TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
