Safely Power down the PI from the looper application #120

Closed timsterathome closed 3 years ago

timsterathome commented 3 years ago

I'm not a Python expert but write apps professionally for Linux using C/C++. Would it be possible to power down the PI from the looper application by adding something like this to _handle_keyboard_shortcuts():

            if event.key == pygame.K_p:
                self._print("p was pressed, shutting down...")
                self._player.stop(3)
                subprocess.run(['sudo', 'shutdown', 'now'])
