Is there a way to list all the available drive letters in python?

What's the way to retrieve currently mounted drive list in Windows incl. Thumb drives, and mapped networks.

i currently do

    drives=[]
    for c in string.lowercase:
        if os.path.isdir(c+':'):
            drives.append(c+':')

which looks ugly, but is completely KISS proof :)

Here is a full working example based on Sanjaya's answer: `import win32api def does_drive_exist(letter): return (letter in win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings().split("\x00")) print does_drive_exist("P:\\")` – Jason Willett Mar 24 '13 at 18:51
