Take a look at the code located at the top of the os.py module. It goes through a series of tests to determine which OS it is running on. You should be able to use something like that to create branches in your code to handle Windows/Linux separately. As far as determining removable drives in Windows/Linux I'm afraid I can't help on that. -Larry Bates -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
