Why so complicated? MacOS X is a Unix at it's base, so you can
use Unix commands.
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
os.system("shutdown -h now")
Must be run as root, won't work otherwise. You can however add to
sudoers (man visudo) shutdown as NOPASSWD program for the users
that want to execute the script and use "sudo shutdown ..."
instead of just "shutdown ..."
