Controlling the Parallel Port

[Bill Scherer]

Simon

There is a parallel port library for linux at

http://www.circlemud.org/~jelson/software/parapin/

that is simple to SWIG into a Python module.
I can send you the .i file for this if you want.

I haven't really used it, but it loads and reads the port status just
fine.
