[python-win32] idle detection on system?

[Len Remmerswaal]

If your question is still current:
Did you try pyHook? (http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/assist/developer.shtml).
I use it in a wxPython app: it provides a message pump. The pyHook 
callback just increments an integer variable. A timer comes around every 
second or so to see if the variable changed or not, and if it doesn't 
during sufficient cycles, you must be idle :-) .
Hope this helps,
Len
