There is no generic way of doing this, afaik.
For Windows, you need to access the Win32 API. Like so:
The win32api module is a part of pywin32.
For linux/os x, I guess calling the “reboot” command is the easiest.
Or something like that.
(Note to downvoters:
os.system()has not been deprecated. The text is “The subprocess module provides more powerful facilities for spawning new processes and retrieving their results; using that module is preferable to using this function.” For simple cases like this, when you aren’t interested in retrieving the results, nor in multiprocessing,os.system()works just fine).
