Well, this is the one part that I have no idea how to do....as far as I can tell the information simply is not in /proc. I need a different method to discover when someone is typing. That's what I came to the list for, to get a clue as to how to do that.
Certainly someone has an idea how to detect typing on a usb keyboard under python....some external library must exist? Thanks p.s. Diez...I'll read that over, and will look forward to seeing what you come up with. Please email me to let me know......I suspect that your approach will require kernel modifications.... I don't want to go down that path. I'd be okay with it once, cut the last thing I want to do is repatch my ubuntu kernel every time there was a security fix. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
