I have a program that traverses the directory of a CDROM using os.walk.
I do most of my work on Windows, but some on (Ubuntu) Linux, and I'd like
this to work in both environments.
On Windows, I do something along the lines of this:
startpoint="D:/"
for (root, dirs, files) in os.walk(startpoint):
(stuff)
What would I use for startpoint in Linux? I've tried "/dev/sr0" and
"/dev/sr0/"; neither work. (If I recall correctly, the for-loop just
drops through; I'm not at my Linux box right now to confirm.)
A number of other mount points (like /dev/cdrom, I think) are links to
/dev/sr0; and don't work either.
It *does* work to start at "/media/VOLUMENAME", where VOLUMENAME is the
volume ID of the disc; but my program will not know that. I need to be
able to do this without knowing the volume name.
Any ideas?
(I have a nagging suspicion the answer will be that it's not possible to
do this in exactly teh same way, and that I'll need to somehow query what
volume is mounted on /dev/sr0, and then use the /media/volumename
approach)
