The arrangement should be,

If you're on Windows and you can find an example using the Win32 api (in C++
for example) you can use pywin32 module to do the same thing through
python. It's a little complicated sometimes though. So what O.S. are you

Is there a way in python to tell if the power source for a laptop is
ac or battery? I am trying to write a small script to print out my
system stats and would like to know if the laptop is on battery power
or using ac power. I just dont know enough python to know where to
look for that info.

Hello,
I'm writing an application which will hold a database of people. Ofcourse,
people can have the same name, so I want to stock them with an unique ID.
I've searched and found some things:
- uuid.uuid4()
- id(name)
- os.urandom(n)
But they seem overkill to me. Well, maybe not id().

You are not being very helpful. What does "remote to the machine"
mean? What OS are you running? Some details would help.
