Script Hangs in Windows 8.1

[Wikilicious]

Thanks for the script.
I encountered an issue using it in Windows 8.1.
It works fine, however; the script hangs even after I wake my monitors again.
e.g.
SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170
win32gui.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, 2)
print 'All done'

The Python window stays open even after I wake my monitors i.e. it never reaches the print 'All done' statement.

I tested this on Windows 7 and had no issues so I assume it's a Windows 8.1 issue.
I have devised a remedy for my issue

import win32gui
import win32con
from os import getpid, system
from threading import Timer

def force_exit():
pid = getpid()
system('taskkill /pid %s /f' % pid)

t = Timer(1, force_exit)
t.start()
SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170
win32gui.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, 2)

The script waits 1 second then forcefully kills itself. The extra imports are part of Python's standard library.
