I think it's some kind of "soft" turn off; you send the device a 
command to shutdown self. The +5V stay there.

[python-win32] Python Windows on Wikipedia

2006-12-14 Thread Bokverket
That's an absolutely fabolous idea. In particular, a lot of more general
info on accessing Windows from Python (and maybe Python from a typical app
like Microsoft Excel or Word) would fit there. The things that one dare not
ask here, in spite of the "no-dumb policy" :-)

In fact I think that it would increase the traffic on this list due to a
whole new group of people joining.  The problem is that the learning curve
is steep if you want to do something,
start reading on this site, my problem is maybe typical that I read the
book/chapter on Python and Windows long ago and got a canonical Hello World
app to run (I managed to open Word from Python and was proud). Maybe there
are good books or online resources on how to get a library up and running,
what libraries are needed etc, how a COM works in conjunction with Pyton,
etc., if so they could just be referenced.

The target-group of the text ought to be programmers needing some glue.

Best,

Goran

I agree it will have to address every concern out there but in the end i
think it will work!

I'm confused. http://www.vectorsite.net/tsawk.html states "The Awk 
text-processing programming language is a useful and simple tool for 
manipulating text". I don't see anything like "access for example 
Outlook Express address lists, Word, ..."

I have under development a Python implementation of IBM's CMS Pipelines, 
which is in essence a "super AKW and Linux/Unix pipes" all in 1 package. 
Would you like to hear more?
