Controlling the Parallel Port

[Simon Faulkner]

Having read the previous messages I note that this has been discussed
on the Win platform but I am interested in the Linux (RH7) platform.

I have the Jan Axelson Parallel Port Complete book but I am not sure
how to write the port from Python.

Any code snippets gratefully stolen...
