[orca-list] script for battery information

[Jonathan Chacón <jonathan chacon telefonica net>]

Hello everybody,

I wrote a script to get charge battery information. It uses acpi
tecnology...
I hope this script will be fine

here is the script:

import os


def sayBattery(script, inputEvent=None):
        acpiBatteryPath = "/proc/acpi/battery" # path for batteries
        batteries = os.listdir(acpiBatteryPath) # gets all batteries in the PC
        if len(batteries) > 0 : # there is battery support
                for b in batteries:
                        # gets info about the battery
                        pathFile = acpiBatteryPath + "/" + b + "/"
                        infoBatteryFile = file(pathFile + "info", "r") # opens info battery
                        if infoBatteryFile.readline().split()[1] == "yes": 
                                infoBatteryFile.readline() # jumps a line
                                batteryMaxCap = float (infoBatteryFile.readline().split()[3]) # gets
max capacity
                                # gets status battery
                                statusBatteryFile = file(pathFile + "state", "r") # jumps to battery
charge
                                statusBatteryFile.readline()
                                statusBatteryFile.readline()
                                chargingStatus = statusBatteryFile.readline().split()[2]
                                statusBatteryFile.readline()
                                batteryCharge = int
(float(statusBatteryFile.readline().split()[2])/batteryMaxCap*100)
                                statusBatteryFile.close()
                                # make the string result
                                strResult = str(batteryCharge) + "% "
                                # add charging status (charging - charged )
                                if chargingStatus == "charged": strResult += " charged "
                                if chargingStatus == "charging": strResult += " charging "
                        else: strResult = "Battery not found" # battery not present
                        infoBatteryFile.close()
                        # for two or more batteries
                        if len(batteries) > 1: strResult = b + ":" + strResult
        else: strResult = "No battery support" 
        speech.speak(strResult)
        return true
