Using python, I would like to find the path to a drive by it's label on all platforms (linux,windows,mac), for example I would like to search for the drive named STUFF and get the path (e:/ or /media/patrick/e/ ) back or an error if it does not exist.

What have you found by searching? There seem to be a number of solutions for windows and linux. – Peter Wood May 02 '16 at 20:59

@PeterWood I have found ways to find a label by the drive name but not the other way around – geek1011 May 02 '16 at 21:19

If you do that for each drive you have a solution. – Peter Wood May 02 '16 at 21:22
