Win XP "Sleep" mode: can Py wake up?

[Bell, Kevin]

Does anyone have any experience having python deal with sleep mode? I'd
love to run something that would hear a sleep event coming and pickle
some data before sleep, then after coming out of sleep, unpickle...

Any thoughts?

It should, in theory, be possibly by trapping the WMI
Win32_PowerManagementEvent event. I haven't time
to try it out at the moment, unfortunately. Alternatively,
the WM_POWERBROADCAST message looks hopeful
if you wanted to go the Message Loop route.
