Gauging system load

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a module or a neat trick that will
permit me to gauge the system load at a given time? For example, in a
utopian dream world:
import sys, time
# A percentage value
THRESHOLD = 20
while 1:
if sys.cpuActivity < THRESHOLD:
# Do some heavy work
break
else
time.sleep(10)
I've thought of maybe spawning a thread and gauging the amount of time it
takes for it to be serviced, but that's pretty crude and innaccurate.
Any tips?
