title: Python Win32 - equivalent function to DriveInfo.IsReady
body: <p>I'm trying to find an equivalent Python function to the Windows function <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.driveinfo.isready.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DriveInfo.IsReady</a>.  I've spent a while searching through the functions provided by win32api and win32file but I can't find anything (though perhaps that's because I didn't manage to find much useful documentation online, so was simply searching through the listing of functions).</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be gratefully received.</p>
