Global "hot keys" are typically the domain of the desktop environment
(or window manager for archaic desktops). For example, KDE has a
configuration dialogue
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I'm running Linux, and I only will
be running this app while X is running. pyHook doesn't seem to be an
option because it's win32 only. I'm guessing python-xlib is the way to
go, but it seems to be that it relies on you understanding the C xlib
library, which is
If you're using python 2.4, you can use the pyHook library (I don't
think it has been ported to 2.5 yet... I should email him about that),
which can hook both the mouse and keyboard, so your program can be
running in the background and still catch what keys (or mouse clicks)
are pressed. The pyHoo
XLib would really only see the keys pressed when under X, do you want
it to catch the keys directly from the keyboard?

I want to make a Python app that runs in the background, and when a
user hits a key combination, for a function to run. This sounds simple
enough, but all of the keypress detecting libraries I can find count on
you creating a window and then detecting keypresses while that window
has focus. I want
