Wasn't shutil declared obsolete ?

Anybody care to add the missing parts in:
import sys,os
try:
os.statvfs
except AttributeError:
# Win32 implementation...
# Mac implementation...
pass
else:
import statvfs
def freespace(path):
""" freespace(path) -> integer
Return the number of bytes available to the user on the file system
pointed to by path."""
s = os.statvfs(path)
return s[statvfs.F_BAVAIL] * long(s[statvfs.F_BSIZE])
if __name__=='__main__':
path = sys.argv[1]
print 'Free space on %s: %i kB (%i bytes)' % (path,
freespace(path) / 1024,
freespace(path))
totalspace() should be just as easy to add and I'm pretty
sure that you can get that information on *all* platforms
(not necessarily using the same APIs though).
