Spur of the moment answer: call setleds program from within your program

better answer (fox X11): 
http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/python-xlib_16.html

Take a look at get_keyboard_control() and change_keyboard_control(). As far as 
knowing how to properly invoke them, I have no idea, maybe you could google 
for examples or take a look at the setleds source?
