I can have Eclipse-style sub-window management without the hassle of getting PyDev configured. What features exactly does it not have? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

detecting drives for windows and linux
Hi, I'm writing a file browser, but I'm not sure how I could go about detecting the drives available on windows and linux systems (preferably using the standard modules if possible). I guess I could just try to list root on each letter of the alphabet for windows and see if it works, but that seems crude; besides, I want to know what kind of drive each drive/partition is (i.e. is it local and is it a harddrive or optical drive). Thanks, Brian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
