[Tutor] New beginner book - "Practical Programming"
The Pragmatic Bookshelf has released a new book, Practical Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science Using Python. This looks like a good addition to the list of beginners' books. I would be interested in a review if anyone reads it. http://www.pragprog.com/titles/gwpy/practical-programming Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Need help with registry access
Python 3.0.1 Windows XP PROFESSIONAL, SP3 Looking for help manipulating the registry through python. Heres what I'm wanting to do. My friend and I are techies, he's on my LAN. I want to disable his keyboard through the registry (or some other fun way) while he's in the middle of playing starcraft by running a script through the LAN. Easy fix, he can restore or just reinstall his keyboard. But I wanna see the look on his face. I'd like to do it through the registry, since that'd be easy to fix.___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Look at the winreg module for accessing the registry. How you do it over the LAN and how you disable the keyboard I'll leave as an exercise for your investigation! One other option is to look into using WSH via the pythonwin or ctypes API. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

It is trivial if he can get physical access to the computer and can install a software that will listen to a certain port to hear when to shut off the keyboard. Well, if you can get physical access to the computer, pretty much anything is possible... ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
