So basically you want to check if a process is idle or not? If the process is ideal shouldn't it stop eating up a lot less CPU than if it is active?
At any rate, this is the library I'm using to obtain system information -> http://pythonhosted.org/psutil/ If something it returns looks like the information you are after it should be fairly trivial to add a column displaying it.
