[Heiko Selber] | I am trying to find out (using Python under windows) the name | of a CD that | is currently in the drive specified by a path name. | | And while I am at it, I'd also like to know whether the | specified drive | contains a CD at all, and whether the drive is actually a CD drive.
Try this: <code> import wmi c = wmi.WMI () for i in c.Win32_CDROMDrive (): print i.Caption, i.VolumeName, i.VolumeSerialNumber </code> I haven't answered all your questions, but I'm willing to bet that you can do pretty much what you want with WMI. There are also the pywin32 functions which give you some of this (maybe all, don't know; haven't tried).
