BTW, you want to write a generic python acpi class, do you ?

While I am no python guru (not just yet), I hope to write a text based utility 
(great if it is a GUI one) in python to display things like:
1. Battery charge remaining
2. AC adapter status
3. Thermal information
4. etc..
(In fact I have written a text based python utility to display some of those 
by reading /proc/acpi files). I can send you that in a private e-mail if you 
wish, it isn't complete yet though.

Yep, if you can provide me some codes in Python in that area, I will be really
happy!
I am not a great python guru, though.

The real problem is KDE 3.0.x in RH 8.0 doesn't work with newer ACPI code, of 
course I have verified that KDE 3.1 on Rh 8.1 Beta works fine however. I 
guess I am lazy to find a utility in the internet that could do that under RH 
8.0.

Anyway if you know of any open-source code in python that would help me, 
please provide me an URL if you can.

Well.. Sorry, I am not aware of such URL, but I guess it would be just fine
to have a generic acpi class under python (I don't have time to do it myself
at this time, even though I have some ideas on how to implement such
class).
