Detect OS shutdown or user logout across different operating systems

[python at bdurham.com]

Is there a OS portable way to have a Python script detect when
its operating system is shutting down or a user is logging out?

If not, any Windows specific tips on how to detect these events?

Thank you,
Malcolm
