Hello everyone,
Since I got a simple answer from Roger on the Python Win32 web site I
decided to post it
here for those who would want that information, especially those who can not
see.
The first 2 lines are all that is needed along with the battery level
instances
using that object,
( BatteryPercentage = wmi.InstancesOf('win32_battery'))
This program uses the computer voices and will list them if the specified
one
is not found. In this case I used Karen. When the list is displayed you do not
need
to insert everything in the name, just the obvious part of the name, like Karen.
Just make sure you spell it correctly or you will always get the list printed on
the screen.
this also will sound off every minute because of the sleep amounts I use. It
can also be changed to voice the percentage every percent change, just do what
you
want to do.
