Listening for a certain keypress in the background

M

Mathias Dahl

I have created a Python program that is running on my desktop.

How can I make it listen for a certain keypress (say, Windows-key +
space) in a controlled fashion even when it is not the program having
focus?

I need to do this running GNOME under Mandrake GN/Linux 10.
