This gives me the same error 'int'  is not callable.

Maybe it's something to do with late/early binding ??

What version of Python/win32all have you used this on ?

Yes, very handy tools.

It's just that I'd like to do the shutting down myself - why call
pshutdown if I can call the shut down mechanism directly.

I'm not going to attempt to describe what you need to do to send WMI
  methods and parameters back and forth, because it's a pain in the neck,
  which is why I hid all the hard work under the covers here:

http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html

and can even offer a comparable example here:

http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi_cookbook.html
(search for "Reboot a remote machine" -- I really must put anchors on that
page)

If you follow that example, all you need to change is the final line
  to read something like:

os.Win32Shutdown (Flags=12)

and it works! (Well, it did for me, anyway).

PS If you read the source of the module you'll understand why I
  didn't want to try to explain how it works. Feel free to tinker
  and offer improvements. TJG

Your call.  I don't really know much about PDB either.  In fact,
all I ever do with it is hit "s" (step), "r" (return), "n" (next),
and sometimes I evaluate an expression with "!expr".

I also use it to troubleshoot problems in multithreaded code
from time to time, as I recall, never with any particular problem.
I'm surprised more people don't use it because it's really rather
trivial to fire up and step through a few lines of code.  Clunky?
Maybe... but it works, and it's very very convenient.

This isn't a Python solution at all, but have you looked at PsTools
(http://www.sysinternals.com)? It includes a command to remotely shutdown a
machine including options to specify whether to log the user off, poweroff,
reboot, hibernate etc. There is also a timeout so you can give users a
chance to save their work (it displays a popup on their screen telling them
the system is shutting down). You could just spawn a bunch of psshutdown
processes off in parallel. It is free, although you cannot further
redistribute it.

PsTools also includes other programs which could be useful in a classroom
environment (useful for teachers, devastating if the pupils get their hands
on them and you don't have security set up right).

That is an old project though with no work being done on it.  Plus it doesn't
do exactly what I am trying to do. I think the best thing for me to do is as
follows: I am just not sure how to do it all yet :-)

Maybe make a python web service talk use pam.  That should work as pam can
do the rest I think.  Maybe something with oldap.  There has to be a good way
in python to accomplish this.

Hi !

This code "reboot" the computer 'CPU01' (if rights are OK) :


import win32com.client
WMIService =
win32com.client.GetObject(r"winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdo
wn)}!\\CPU01\root\cimv2")

objs = WMIService.ExecQuery(r"Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
for obj in objs:
     obj.Reboot()




Perhaps this sample can help you ?

If it must run on Unix, you could probably let your web service run
under Apache and use mod_ntlm for authentication.

A freshmeat.net search for ntlm might also provide useful software for
your task.

I haven't tried any of these yet, though.

While Miki's information may or may not be authorative, it does appear
to be true.

Python has different modules available on different platforms. See
http://www.python.org/doc/current/modindex.html for a list of modules.
The modules with one or more platforms in parenthesis next to them are
platform specific.

_winreg is documented as being a Windows specific module. As far as
Python is concerned, cygwin is a Unix platform, not a Windows platform.
As evidence of this try importing modules which the Python documentation
calls Unix specific and modules called Windows specific on cygwin Python
and on Windows Python:


Python 2.2.3 (#1, Jun 19 2003, 12:10:13)
[GCC 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)] on Cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import crypt
>>> crypt
<module 'crypt' from '/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/crypt.dll'>
>>> import _winreg
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named _winreg


And on "true" Win32 Python:


Python 2.3.2 (#49, Oct  2 2003, 20:02:00) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import _winreg
>>> _winreg
<module '_winreg' from 'C:\Python23\DLLs\_winreg.pyd'>
>>> import crypt
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named crypt


If you don't like Miki's suggestion of using regtool, then you could run
win32 Python side-by-side with cygwin Python and use an IPC mechanism to
communicate between the two.

Subject: Web Authentication to AD


I would like to write a python web service that would take a username and

web form and authenticate to Active directory.  A few questions about this.

1. How can I do it :-)
2. I would like the script to be in the same server as the websites which is a
linux box.  So I need it to call active
directory on a M$ box.  If this is too hard could someone at least explain the
process if I make this a service
on the M$ box. Which I guess I can do if keeping it on the Linux box is too
much.
3.  I would like to expand the service so that I could check the computer the
user is on and not make them enter a
username and password if they are already logged in to the domain.  I huess I
would have to use Java Script for
this.  Any ideas here?

Thank you in advance.

You might want to investigate Stackless python, an excellent research
work which can save and resume execution state, to some degree. Try
the following google query

I *think* I'd rather change an attribute of the instance for each
state change and forward onto that:

     def move_state(self):
         self.state = State()

     def do_something_dependent_on_state(self):
         self.state.do_something()

Using this method you can shutdown and poweroff (the 12 value) a
machine, shutdown.exe from the reskit leaves a machine at "You may now
switch off".


I want to use this to shutdown all machines in the school in which I
work from a schedule on a server.

I could use the VBscript version but there are long delays if a machine
is switched off - in Python I can thread the communication with
individual machines (to achieve this in VBScript I have to call a new
instance of w(c)script for each machine), effectively shutting them
down in parallel.

The problem is that by default the numeric locale is not set up to parse
those numbers. You have to set that up separately:

>>> import locale
>>> locale.getlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC)
(None, None)
>>> locale.getlocale()
['English_United Kingdom', '1252']
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, "English")
'English_United States.1252'
>>> locale.atof('1,234')
1234.0
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, "French")
'French_France.1252'
>>> locale.atof('1,234')
1.234

Unless I've missed something, it doesn't support ignoring currency symbols
when parsing numbers, so you still can't handle "-$12,345.00" even if you
do set the numeric and monetary locales.

I'm (very non expert) trying to use a snippet of VBScript (to shut down
Windows workstations) converted to Python but have hit a problem.


The VBScript below work fine;


  pc="MyPC"

  Set oWMI=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}!\\"_
  & pc & "\root\cimv2")

  Set colOperatingSystems = oWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")

  For Each obj in colOperatingSystems
      obj.Win32shutdown 12
  Next



but my translation results in "'int' object is not callable" with the
attempted call to Win32Shutdown.

This is with Python 2.3.2 win32all 1.57 or Active Python 2.3.2

print type(obj.Win32ShutDown)
gives int

print obj.Win32ShutDown
gives 87 - the ASCII code of "W" - coincidentally ?




  import win32com.client, sys


  pc='MyPC'

  oWMI =
  win32com.client.GetObject(r"winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,\
  (Shutdown)}!\\" + pc + r"\root\cimv2")

  colOperatingSystems = oWMI.ExecQuery(r"Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")

  for obj in colOperatingSystems:
      obj.Win32ShutDown(12)

I'm biased here, but Kiki (but http://project5.freezope.org/kiki) is
cross-platform and doesn't depend on Qt but on wxPy which is much easier
for Windows users.

Anyway, here's a regex I ripped out of my own code - you might want to
simplify it though:

"""Regex for finding URLs:
    URL's start with http(s)/ftp/news ((http)|(ftp)|(news))
    followed by ://
    then any number of non-whitespace characters including
    numbers, dots, forward slashes, commas, question marks,
    ampersands, equality signs, dashes, underscores and plusses,
    but ending in a non-dot and non-plus!
