WinPops

[Hari Sekhon]

If you were going to do this you may as well just do something like

if sys.platform='win32':
    os.system('net send <somemachine> <somemessage>')
elif sys.platform[:5]='linux'
   os.system('smblcient -M <machine> etc...')

This would be more portable and simpler than the alternatives I've seen.

It would be better if there was just a cross platform library for this
protocol so you could just

import winpop
winpop.send (host,message)


Too much to ask?
