I'm trying to turn a monitor off from a Python script. I can do this using the
program "wizmo", so its possible from Windows. I found this script which
describes a method using SendMessage:

I have a feeling that was progress, but still no reaction on my monitors.
Here's the code including the new clue:
SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170
handle = win32gui.GetDesktopWi
Eureka! In case anyone else comes down this path, the trick is to use
HWND_BROADCAST to send the message to all windows. So the code to turn off all
monitors:
SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170
win32gui.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SYSCOMMAND,
SC_MONITORPOWER, 2)
According to the doc
Hi!
Eureka!
Thanks for your /fun/shared/ code-source.

I'm wondering if there's some way to reboot or shutdown Windows from within
Python?
I can log out like this:
win32api.ExitWindowsEx(4)
And according to the documentation, I should be able to shutdown like this:
win32api.ExitWindowsEx(2)
But that returns the following error:
'A required priv

To restart I use:
outFileObject = os.popen("shutdown -r -t 05", 'r')
To shutdown swap -r for -s. This is the same as running the "shutdown -r -t
05" on the command prompt.
The number is the delay and the outFileObject catches any messages that
would be printed out to the command prompt window.
Hi,
We're doing what amounts to a registry session audit here at work, so I
need to walk a specific set of subfolders in our registry and get the
contents thereof. The subfolders will vary from user to user. I found

Reg files are just text files, so why not just create the text files yourself?
Here's a reg file for example:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Gizmoware\Whatever]
"Name"="Yada"
"Number"="something"
