Aloha everyone!
I attached a script that I thought I could share with everyone for your
help. This Python3 script only works on Unix systems. It prints the current
state of the lid. This can be used to make a script that performs some
action when the lid is closed or open. The script is licensed under LGPLv3
and I will soon upload it to my Launchpad account. Enjoy!
There's... no Python code in that. Why not simply
open("/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state") and read from it, instead of
using cat and awk?

The script returns either "open" or "close" instead of printing the
whole file contents. I thought some people would find it useful (^_^;).
