It depends on your operating system. For Windows, you'll want to use a
Python module to access the Win32 API. The relevant API function is
documented at <URL:http://tinyurl.com/jrxm>.

in X11, you could use Xlib to do so. In debian unstable, that's
"apt-get install python-xlib{,-doc}", and start reading.
