How to see where a device file was mounted to?

Given something like /dev/sdb1, how can I find out where it was automounted to in linux in python (since using it directly like a directory does not work)?

(Continued from Why can't python glob detect my thumbdrive (and what can I do about it?))

You can use a subprocess with lsblk and parse that or just parse /etc/mtab:

def find_mount(dev):
    with open("/etc/mtab") as f:
        for line in f:
            if line.startswith(dev):
                return line.split(None, 2)[1]


print(find_mount("/dev/sdb1"))
