Remote uptime with win32pdh

[Jamie]

I'm new to python and I'm trying to write a script which takes the
computer name from the variable 'name' and gets the uptime.

What I have so far:
query = win32pdh.OpenQuery()
counter = win32pdh.AddCounter(query, r'\System\System Up Time')
win32pdh.CollectQueryData(query)
var1, val = win32pdh.GetFormattedCounterValue(counter,
win32pdh.PDH_FMT_LONG)
uptime = val / 3600

print "--> Uptime: %s hours" % uptime

That works just fine for the local system, but I'm at a loss figuring
out how to make it gater that data from a remote system. Any help
would be much appreciated!

Oh, and I can't use WMI because WMI doesn't seem to work in Portable
Python (long story)

path = win32pdh.MakeCounterPath((name, r'System', None, None, 0,
"System Up Time"))
query = win32pdh.OpenQuery()
handle = win32pdh.AddCounter(query, path)
win32pdh.CollectQueryData(query)
seconds = win32pdh.GetFormattedCounterValue(handle,
win32pdh.PDH_FMT_LONG | win32pdh.PDH_FMT_NOSCALE )[ 1 ]

uptime = seconds / 3600


that works!
