There's probably a better way to do it but this is what I did, where
AABBCCDDEEFF is the MAC address of the machine you wish to wake.


MYPORT = 50000

from socket import *

s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind(('', 0))
s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, 1)

data = 'FFFFFFFFFFFF'
data+= 'AABBCCDDEEFF'*16
sd=''

for a in range(0,len(data),2):
    sd+=chr(int(data[a:a+2],16))

s.sendto(sd, ('<broadcast>', MYPORT))
