Answer 1

After looking at this article:

http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/screen/scmonitorpower.htm

It appears you need to send a SendMessage call similar to:

SendMessage(Me.hWnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, ByVal MONITOR_OFF)

Although, that is a VB version. What you're really after is the WinAPI call, I'm sure you can convert this bit to however you invoke WinAPI calls in Python. I hope this helps.

import win32gui
import win32con

if argument == "on":
  win32gui.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SYSCOMMAND,
                       win32con.SC_MONITORPOWER, -1)

if argument == "off":
  win32gui.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SYSCOMMAND,
                       win32con.SC_MONITORPOWER, 2)

if argument == "sleep":
  win32gui.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SYSCOMMAND,
                       win32con.SC_MONITORPOWER, 1)

python - Setting a default value for a field in a formset in Django

Since a session is required to get the value, we cannot set a default value in the model class itself. And I am not able to understand how to explicitly set the value in each form in the formset before saving in the view function. Setting the initial attribute in the construction of the FormSet would work bu...
