i use terminal to shutdown my system by
calculating the time for my downloads and uses the command 'sudo
shutdown -h +time'.....how can i implement this using python script

I cant understand what you want the python script to do.

But bash was designed as a "Process Controll Language" for this
purpose. You can just do

<code>
#!/bin/bash
if [ $EUID -ne 0];
then
    echo "Need to be root to shutdown"
fi
wget #whatver
shutdown -h -P now
</code>

If you use free download hours of asianet you can use the shutdown script at

http://dropointftp.t35.com/down

It shuts down the system automatically by default at 7.45am.

You can shutdown at another time automatically by running it as

./down 19 45
[Shutdown at 7.45pm]

It also puts a log in the current directory when shutdown was successful.
