The code is about right, but you're using wrong fields, which may give you the wrong results on a different system. The correct way would be:

>>> os.system('df -k /')
Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root       14846608 3247272  10945876  23% /

>>> disk = os.statvfs('/')
>>> (disk.f_bavail * disk.f_frsize) / 1024
10945876L
