DriverGet in Eventghost

[vbcrayon]

Friends,

Is there anything like that http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/DriveGet.htm? Can be in Python ...

Some of the stuff is available thru the WMI library. Including Type, Capacity, FS, Label, Serial, freespace, etc.


You first need to add wmi.py to your eventghost main directory.

Then you can pay around with a script like this:

Code: Select all

import wmi

DRIVE_TYPES = {
  0 : "Unknown",
  1 : "No Root Directory",
  2 : "Removable Disk",
  3 : "Local Disk",
  4 : "Network Drive",
  5 : "Compact Disc",
  6 : "RAM Disk"
}

c = wmi.WMI ()
for drive in c.Win32_LogicalDisk ():
  print drive.Caption, DRIVE_TYPES[drive.DriveType]
  #print drive #uncomment this line to get all information displayed

Or:

Code: Select all

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI()
for x in c.Win32_DiskDrive():
  print x

Or this that demonstrates the ability to use a query (doesn't grab as much info from wmi, shortening processing time) and then further uses disk.Name to only output one variable.:

Code: Select all

import wmi

c = wmi.WMI ()
wql = "SELECT Name FROM Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE DriveType <> 0"
for disk in c.query(wql):
  print disk.Name

Thanks for the explanation, but I wanted to know if the drive is playing or not, just like autohotkey command:

Code: Select all

DriveGet, statuscd, statuscd, e

Explanation: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/DriveGet.htm
WMI library, only checks if the driver was accessed or not.

Another idea??

My temporary script:

Code: Select all

import wmi
import time
e_drive = wmi.WMI(moniker='Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID="E:"')
while e_drive.Access == None:
   time.sleep(1)
   e_drive = wmi.WMI(moniker='Win32_LogicalDisk.DevideID="E:"')
