Look at pyParallel (http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyparallel.html) to control the parallel port. From the parallel port you can control external devices. Please note that you will need to add a transistor to control a relay. There is also pySerial, (http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/) to control the serial port. If you know how to use a microcontroller (AVR, PIC, 8031, etc) you can communicate with it through the sereial port, and let the micro control the "real world".
