title: Find contents of a USB drive on Windows in Python
body: <p>I'm trying to get Python to get files from a USB drive on Windows (from a tablet, actually) and send them through the network. Windows does not offer me a drive letter for the USB device. The device just has a name. There is no option to mount it. diskpart does not see it and mountvol always tell me that "The parameter is incorrect."</p>
  
  <p>The device appears inside of "Computer" under "Portable Devices". I can see the files. They're there, there is no doubt. How can I get Python to grab them? I can't even get to them from the command line. If I try to drag a folder from the drive to a command shell, the mouse pointer turns into a "forbidden" sign. I am given no option to mount or map the device in the Windows GUI.</p>
  
  <p>What can I do?</p>
