Check if key is pressed using python (a daemon in the background)

Question

I\'ve created a python script in which an event needs to be executed each time I press the Super (or WinKey) on my keyboard.

How can one achieve this without the pyt

Answer 1

My previous answer apparently was completely wrong, sorry. I think the correct approach would be to read from /dev/input/event1 (?)

This short test showed scancodes for me, even if the terminal did not have focus:

from struct import unpack
port = open("/dev/input/event1","rb")    

while 1:    
  a,b,c,d = unpack("4B",port.read(4))    
  print a,b,c,d

I do not know if /dev/input/event1 is always the keyboard or how to determine which one is, but at least for me it worked
