[PyQt] OT: System idle time

[Umit Oztosun]

Hello,

You might want to take a peek at PyXSS
(http://bebop.bigasterisk.com/python/docs/PyXSS). It is rather old,
but we are using it successfully for many years. You might need swig
development environment installed on your system to install PyXSS.

Regards,
