I once came across the following when playing with dbus.

import dbus
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
bus_object = bus.get_object("org.freedesktop.Hal", 
"/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer")
bus_object.Shutdown(dbus_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement")

This will shutdown your computer immediatly. You can substitute the 
"Shutdown" method with "Suspend", "Hibernate" or "Reboot".

Cheers,
Timo
