Share Code: Laptop Lid State

[Devyn Collier Johnson]

Aloha everyone!

    I attached a script that I thought I could share with everyone for 
your help. This Python3 script only works on Unix systems. It prints the 
current state of the lid. This can be used to make a script that 
performs some action when the lid is closed or open. The script is 
licensed under LGPLv3 and I will soon upload it to my Launchpad account. 
Enjoy!

Mahalo,
