I spoke too soon. Unfortunately the answers I get from COM are not compatible with win32pdh. Example: win32com tells me my network interface is called: "Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection" But win32pdh calls it: "Intel[R] PRO_100 Network Connection - Packet Scheduler Miniport" Notice the almost subtle "(R)" and "[R]" differences and "PRO/100" vs "PRO_100". Nice and inconsistent! Who knows why ... crazy Microsoft. Anyway, further digging showed me that win32pdh can indeed tell me all the available instance names for the "Network Interface" object, exactly what I was looking for. >>> items, instances = win32pdh.EnumObjectItems(None, None, 'Network Interface', win32pdh.PERF_DETAIL_WIZARD) >>> items ['Bytes Total/sec', 'Packets/sec', 'Packets Received/sec', 'Packets Sent/sec', 'Current Bandwidth', 'Bytes Received/sec', 'Packets Received Unicast/sec', 'Packets Received Non-Unicast/sec', 'Packets Received Discarded', 'Packets Received Errors', 'Packets Received Unknown', 'Bytes Sent/sec', 'Packets Sent Unicast/sec', 'Packets Sent Non-Unicast/sec', 'Packets Outbound Discarded', 'Packets Outbound Errors', 'Output Queue Length'] >>> instances ['ORiNOCO Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card - Packet Scheduler Miniport', 'Intel[R] PRO_100 Network Connection - Packet Scheduler Miniport', 'MS TCP Loopback interface'] instances is a list of network interface names that win32pdh can provide counters for, and items is a list of all the counters that can be provided. Hope this helps others.
