Pause on lock

#############

Automatically pause your music player when the screen gets

locked and resume plaback, once the screen is unlocked again.

This is basically `the bash script with the same name`_ rewritten in Python.

The benefit of the Python version is that it *should* detect the screensaver

you use and running player(s) automatically, as long, as they are visible on

the D-Bus. So, no need for ever growing arrays of supported applications in

the code and no configuration necessary.

Installation

============

Pause on Lock is available on pypi, so all you have to do is run ``pip install pauseonlock``.

Usage

=====

After installing, simply run ``pauseonlock``. There will be no output, since the

program is intended to be run in the background. For maximum convenience configure

your desktop environment to start ``pauseonlock`` every time you log in.

Dependencies

============

The only dependency is `python-dbus-next`_ which itself has no further dependencies.
