I'm using the gpib module in python and I've set up a couple instruments, a
34401A and a 53131A for external triggers.

then I trigger them with
gpib.trigger(voltmeter)
gpib.trigger(counter)

this is more than adequate for my application but given that both
instruments support GET (group execute trigger) command, I'd like to
trigger them this way. But I don't know how to call this from python. The
manual for the 34401A mentions:

You can also trigger the multimeter from the HP-IB interface by
sending the IEEE-488 Group Execute Trigger (GET ) message.
The multimeter must be in the wait-for-trigger state. The following
statement shows how to send a GET using HP BASIC.

TRIGGER 722 Group Execute Trigger

How can I do this from Python?
