This isn't exactly what you were looking for, but maybe it will give
you some ideas:


from Tkinter import *

def printMotionEvents(event):
    print "mouse coords: %i x %i" % (event.x, event.y)

t = Tk()
t.bind('<Motion>', printMotionEvents)
t.mainloop()


This script creates a little Tkinter window and then makes it so that
when you move the mouse over the window the mouse coordinates are
printed to stdout.
