The Python program won't decide whether a commercial is playing, I will. At that point, I will run my program which will press mute, wait 20 seconds, and then press mute again.
Actually, I could leave the program running but minimized to the task bar. When I hear the advertisement, I just click on the program in the task bar. It knows what to do from there.
You don't need python for this. You can use auto-it to achieve the same thing. You can download it at: http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/
It is easy to program and it works nicely. There is also some similar thing for python. Perhaps a litle bit more complicated (I haven't tested it):
