I have a few more ?'s.
Well, don't keep them a secret, tell us what they are! What are your questions?
I was trying to make a program for ubuntu that does one function: if ctrl + Alt + "t" is pressed, to shut down the computer. There are only two problems. I want it to run in the background, so nobody knows it's there. I do know how to make it run at startup, so that isn't a problem. I found pygame, so I could say if ctrl +Alt + "t" is pressed to do something, but a black window would always have to be open, which leads to my first problem. I do know how a .pyw works, but it still rests in the Task Manager at the bottom of the screen. Thanks!
Well, I personally don't see the point, since your system almost certainly will have ctrl-alt-delete as shutdown keys. I'm glad you're so excited by your project that you felt you had to tell us about it.
By the way, .pyw files are for Windows. They don't have any special powers in Ubuntu.
You also might find that the best way to change the shutdown key combination is through /etc/inittab rather than writing a Python program to do it.
