This is a feature request.
Is it possible to detect only connected usb disk drives (like pendrive)
with psutils?

I think you should see what psutil.disk_partitions()
(https://pythonhosted.org/psutil/#psutil.disk_partitions) returns when you
have an USB disk connected then simply filter for "fstype".

Read it. The way it is written, it seems to work under windows only.

Anyway, Will test and report back. If working, you may want to update the
doc.

What do you mean? What is returned if an USB disk is connected and how
should I update the doc?

Sorry for the delay.
Here is the simple sample code:-

import psutil
for device in psutil.disk_partitions(all=False):
print device[0]

It producess an output like this:-
/dev/sda5
/dev/sda8
/dev/sda7
/dev/sda6
/dev/sdb1

Now, how do I detemine if "/dev/sdb1" is a USB device?

Try to paste the whole namedtuple as in:

import psutil
for device in psutil.disk_partitions(all=False):
print device

Here is the nametuple you asked for:-

sdiskpart(device='/dev/sda5', mountpoint='/', fstype='ext4',
opts='rw,relatime,data=ordered')
sdiskpart(device='/dev/sda6', mountpoint='/media/DEBIAN', fstype='ext4',
opts='rw,relatime,data=ordered')
sdiskpart(device='/dev/sda8', mountpoint='/media/FUN', fstype='vfat',
opts='rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,gid=100,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro')
sdiskpart(device='/dev/sda7', mountpoint='/media/DATA', fstype='vfat',

psutil has been migrated from Google Code to Github (see:
