That was it! Nearly anyway, in full:

#!/usr/bin/python

from PyQt4 import QtDBus

bus = QtDBus.QDBusConnection.systemBus()
iface = QtDBus.QDBusInterface('org.freedesktop.UDisks',
	'/org/freedesktop/UDisks', 'org.freedesktop.UDisks', bus)

print(iface.call('EnumerateDeviceFiles').arguments())
print(iface.call('EnumerateDevices').arguments())
