How can I make it listen for a certain keypress (say, Windows-key +
space) in a controlled fashion even when it is not the program having
focus?
I need to do this running under GNOME in Mandrake GN/Linux 10.
Search Google for "python keylogger".
Thanks, good idea! The relevant pages I found only link to
Windows-specific keyloggers though.
I just got another idea on a solution for my main problem (invoking my
sleeping app) and that would be to let my window manager execute a
small "invoker" program that would communicate with the sleeping
app. The question is, which is the easiest way to communicate with a
running Python program? Signals? TCP/IP (not really, right?) Pipes?
