I'm looking to create a global hotkey in Python 3.2 for Ubuntu 12.10. That is, my script will run in the background and whenever I press Shift+F4 (for example), no matter what the active window is, the script will do something.

Some resources I have looked at:

• http://code.google.com/p/python-globalhotkeys/


• http://projects.gnome.org/deskbar-applet/ (source)


• http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pyhook/ (for windows)


• http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/


• http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pykeylogger/

Maybe I am too much of a newb (I am a beginner) or I have been looking in the wrong places or for the wrong things, but, I haven't been able to utilize the resources above.

How can I create a global hotkey with Python 3.2 in Ubuntu 12.10. Thanks!
