For the power button question, you might try to find a way using
pywin32 (Mark Hammond's win32all), and you might follow one of these 2
paths:

1) Tweak the registry, in something like:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy

Or:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies

2) Find a way to access the Control Panel using pywin32, and
specifically the "Power Options" => "Advanced" => "When I press the
power button of my pc". This allows you to specify what to do when the
power button on your laptop is pressed (i.e., Do Nothing).

I don't know precisely how to do all those things in pywin32, but you
might ask to the pywin32 mailing list.

HTH.

Andrea.
