Writing my own typing monitor program for RSI sufferers...

[samslists at gmail.com]

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?

Thanks
