title: Iterating through mount points using Python
body: <p>How do I iterate through the mount points of a Linux system using Python? I know I can do it using df command, but is there an in-built Python function to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Also, I'm just writing a Python script to monitor the mount points usage and send email notifications. Would it be better / faster to do this as a normal shell script as compared to a Python script?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
