Oops, sorry. I should know better than to code from what I

Is there a proper way to get this variable from Windows? I know it's in
the registry, but I'd rather not go there. I could not find a CSIDL
shell constant for it either. I've been doing this:
os.chdir('/')
sys_drive = os.getcwd()

is d:, this will return c:\ and not d:\.
hence chdir doesnt do any good, you can do os.getcwd()[:3] with the
same success.

btw it correctly returns just drive letter and colon, a drive name
