Writing my own typing monitor program for RSI sufferers...

So, so close....  The problem with this implementation is that it doesn't
monitor usb keyboards under linux at all as far as I can tell....since no
keyboard entry will show up in /proc/interrupts with a usb keyboard.  I
absolutely need the keyboard monitoring as well.

Otherwise, your project would be the perfect starting point for me!

Anyone else have an idea as to what I can use with Python to know when the
keyboard is being used even when I don't have focus?

Thanks
Sam
