Version Information

  • Python Version: 3.6+ (due to use of dataclasses)
  • pywin32 Version: Compatible with the latest version as of August 2024
  • pyperclip Version: Compatible with the latest version as of August 2024

System Requirements

  • Operating System: Windows (due to use of Win32 API)
  • Architecture: Compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems

Notes

  • This script is designed to run on Windows systems only, as it relies heavily on Windows-specific APIs and WMI queries.
  • Administrative privileges may be required to access certain disk and partition information.
  • The script uses a text-based user interface (TUI) implemented with the curses library.
  • Clipboard functionality is provided through the pyperclip library.

Security Considerations

  • The script accesses low-level system information, which may require elevated privileges.
  • Care should be taken when distributing or running this script, as it has the capability to read sensitive system information.

Licensing

  • The core Python libraries and win32 extensions are subject to their respective licenses.
  • pyperclip is typically distributed under the BSD License.
  • The custom code in this script should be licensed according to the project's requirements.
