The correct way to implement this is to use the power management services available on the System D-Bus. Integrating with D-Bus from Python is easy! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

ChrisA The script returns either open or close instead of printing the whole file contents. I thought some people would find it useful (^_^;). Not having a Linux laptop handy I can't test it, but my point is that text parsing of that nature can be done directly by Python. You can snip out the open or close easily with one, maybe two lines of code at the most, and that without dropping to a shell, a completely superfluous 'cat' process, and awk. You then capture the STDOUT of that and promptly print it to your own STDOUT. Why not either do it truly in Python, or do it directly in a shell script and skip the Python interpreter?

Or for that matter, why not just make it a bash script instead of Python? It's kind of pointless to go to all the trouble of starting a Python interpreter just to have it start a subprocess. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
