I'm looking for a way in python to find out which type of file system is being used for a given path. I'm wanting to do this in a cross platform way. On linux I could just grab the output of df -T but that won't work on OSX or windows.

Take the hint -- different platforms are actually different.

Use lsvfs on Mac OS X and those Linux that support it.

Use this on Windows.

Use an if-statement to decide.

This is the Windows API you might want to call. This should be a good start for the OS X api you are looking for, instead.

os.popen('/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda') on Linux
