Wake-On-Lan with Python 3.x
In addition to PowerShell Wake-On-LAN script example I found example that works with python 3.x in ActiveState Code recipes collection:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# wol.py
#
# This module is from ActiveState Code Recipes:
# http://code.activestate.com/recipes/358449-wake-on-lan/
# and patched for Python 3 with:
# http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577609-wake-on-lan-for-python-3/
#
# Example:
# import wol
# wol.wake_on_lan('70:F3:95:15:00:B5')
#
import socket
import struct
def wake_on_lan(macaddress):
""" Switches on remote computers using WOL. """
# Check macaddress format and try to compensate
if len(macaddress) == 12:
pass
elif len(macaddress) == 12 + 5:
sep = macaddress[2]
macaddress = macaddress.replace(sep,'')
else:
raise ValueError('Incorrect MAC address format')
# Pad the synchronization stream
data = b'FFFFFFFFFFFF' + (macaddress * 20).encode()
send_data = b''
# Split up the hex values in pack
for i in range(0, len(data), 2):
send_data += struct.pack('B', int(data[i: i + 2], 16))
# Broadcast it to the LAN
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
sock.sendto(send_data, ('255.255.255.255',7))
