I'd like to be notified about certain events and call certain python
functions depending on the event.
call a function:
- before (or after) the screen saver kicks in
- before (or after) the monitor is switched off
- before (or after) the hard disk is switched off
- before the PC enters stand by mode
- after the PC left stand by mode
- before (or after) the PC's hard disk was powered up
- before (or after) the monitor was switched on
- before (or after) the screen saver was stopped
This should take you a certain amount of the way:

I honestly don't know if the OS even knows when the monitor's
switched on / when the disk is spun up.
WMI has some power events:

but again I don't know about disk/monitor events.
