I think your best bet for controlling Windows power management with Python
will be the pywin32 module, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
It wraps the Win32 API so that Python scripts can call it.
You'll find there's not much documentation for pywin32, but you won't need
much, because what you really need to know is how to use the API to do what
you want.

Just Google for that - there's a huge body of information available on the
Web about using the Win32 API - then use pywin32 to wrap whatever API call
you find.
