You can use PySide, probably. What are you trying to do? Tracking the mouse movement will get complicated, but it is trivial get the mouse position using PySide at any time you desire.
from PySide import QtGuipoint = QtGui.QCursor().pos()print "x: %s; y: %s" % (point.x(), point.y()) *... Ignore the rest of this message if that would work for you. I'm indulging my own curiosity.* *Tracking Mouse Movement *(probably a bad idea) If you want to actively track the mouse, you will need to mess with the widget settings. I don't think that mouse tracking is enabled in maya by default. I'm not going to have maya handy for a little while, so I can't verify that statement. Note from qt-project on QMouseEvent <http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmouseevent.html>: Mouse move events will occur only when a mouse button is pressed down, unless mouse tracking has been enabled with QWidget::setMouseTracking <http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qwidget.html#mouseTracking-prop>(). This would need to to be enabled on the widget of interest and *all* ancestors. You could perhaps recursively walk through all QWidget children starting at the Maya Main Window, or walk up through the parents from the widget of interest. Anyhow, here is an example that may work while the mouse is held down. I have not tested it, but it covers the basic of creating an EventFilter and installing it to the MainWindow. I'll leave the setMouseTracking to someone with Maya handy.
