Python and KDE

[Dylan Parry]

Hi,

I've got a couple of question regarding Python integration with KDE in
Linux.

I was wondering if it is possible, through some module, to check
whether the screensaver is running in KDE? The reason being that I have
some Python applications that I have running all of the time while I am
logged in to KDE, but as they provide purely eye candy I would like to
make it so they basically do nothing while the screensaver is running,
thus reducing the processor overhead and saving a minute amount of power!

I would also like to be able to play a wav file, or similar, given a
certain condition in an IF statement. Is it possible to play sounds using
Python? If so, how would I go about it?

Thank for your help folks,
