You're right, codewise it isn't.

Actually, it seems to work rather well. Ofcourse, that is with just the
python program running, and sending the code a couple of times for good
measure.

A program I wrote before even thinking of doing the same in Python. :-)
My goal here was to see if I could do the same in pure python. I can, but
barily.

:-) Not possible without any kind of "is it on?" checking/feed-back
mechanism. As such a one-way signalling as is used for those wall-warts is
"best effort" at best.

Interfacing Python with C{something} was already on the agenda. Using this
as a goal is a likely candidate. :-)
