Thanks! I've been doing Python network programming on *nix for a few years now, so it'll be nice to expand my platform experience. > Someone asked something quite similar on c.l.py recently: > > http://tinyurl.com/227f2c > > The second responder does point out that the whole point > of the suspend/hibernate operations is that the programmer > doesn't have to do anything: his program state is saved and > restored transparently.

Yes, my service involves network connections, and while my server and client are robust against non-sleep outages, this will give me the chance to do a little cleanup that will keep things tidier without waiting for keepalives to time out. I hope you don't mind doing a little hand-holding, since I have zero experience with Win32 and am therefore bumbling about. I looked at this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394362.aspx Which leads me to believe that the right way to do this is somewhere along these lines: class MyPowerClass(object): def __init__(self): if self.EventType == 4: print 'suspending' elif self.EventType == 7: print 'resuming' DispatchWithEvents('Win32_PowerManagementEvent', MyPowerClass) Of course that's wrong, since I expect in __init__ EventType hasn't been set yet, but am I close? Since this is running as a service, I'm busy doing other things in a thread, and I want to avoid polling for status. So basically what I'm looking for is a way to register one of my methods to be called with a power event. Thanks for your help so far, Steve _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
