Hi... I want to write a program that will let me know after thirty minutes of typing that I need to take a five minute typing break. But when I stop typing it's smart enough to pause the 30 minute timer automatically. This is under the X-Window System (Linux).
The tricky part is obviously knowing when the mouse and keyboard are being used....especially when my application doesn't have the focus. Obviously I can't do this with just the base python install. Is there an add on library that I can use to monitor the keyboard and mouse? Which is it? Maybe one of the graphical libraries, like wx, or qt, or gtk? Which functions do I need?
