pyxmacros 0.8

Python library for creating system-wide macros on a linux machine. pyxmacros leverages the well known pyxhook library to connect to all X servers running on the machine and runs registered callback functions on desired keypress. Can also be triggered by lirc keypresses if desired.

import xmacros

def run_task(key):
    print "key pressed: %s" %str(key)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    macro = xmacros()
    macro.register_action(key=190, mod=xmacros.MOD_ALT_L, callback=run_task)

    while True:
        pass
