Hi TJG,
Thanks for your very helpful reply and code snippet.
I'm happy that there seems to be a way to do this in windows.
The application is multi-threaded with the MainThread being a wxPython
MainLoop which monitors for events such as Shutdown (QUERY_END_SESSION) etc.
It has to be the MainThread in order to receive the events.
Is it possible that the Win32_VolumeChangeEvent or Win32_DeviceChangeEvent
events can be detected a seperate thread? The example
"detect-device-insertion" uses an infinate loop win32gui.PumpMessages()
for WM_DEVICECHANGE. We can't use this as our MainThread as it's
already in the wx MainLoop().
It's certainly possible to receive WMI events in a thread. There's
a fairly relevant example here:
http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi/cookbook.html#monitor-multiple-machines-for-power-events
It should be possible to adapt the PumpMessages loop into a wxPython
main loop but I'm not a wxPython person so you'd have to look around or ask
over there on the wx mailing list.
TJG
