If your question is still current:
Did you try pyHook? (http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/assist/developer.shtml).
I use it in a wxPython app: it provides a message pump. The pyHook callback just increments an integer variable. A timer comes around every second or so to see if the variable changed or not, and if it doesn't during sufficient cycles, you must be idle :-) .
Hope this helps,
Len

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can detect if a system is idle? By idle I am referring to a user being away from the computer (no keyboard or mouse movement) for X minutes. Tried searching around but I haven't found anything that mentions how I can hook into these two events.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick
