Common operating systems aren't friendly to this effort.
At the least, you'll need to define your goal quite pre-
cisely.  Do you want to construct a Python program that 
monitors the mouse movement while *other* processes are
active?  That's deeply non-portable.  If it's Windows that
motivates you, <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/8813 > has refer-
ences that'll help you start on the subject of
record/playback utilities.
