That doesn't work here, and I do not understand why. In line 305 it tries
and fails to create /dev/block, which is already existing.

if not os.path.exists('/dev/block'):
	os.mkdir('/dev/block', 0755)

Uh, is this a python bug? It works fine with python 2.7, but not with
3.2. But os.path.exists() is quite a basic function, if that wouldn't
work, I'd expect all things to break, including emerge.

Nice script. Much similar to lshw I think, but it shows more stuff, like
LVM names and UUIDS. Thanks!
