I'm working on a program, where in some part of it, it needs to listen to the OP for when files are created/saved, so I can work on said file.
I know the basic concept of hooking, but I don't know exactly how to implement it in this specific use(I know how to attach a hook to a specific PID, but here I need to listen to all processes and see if one of them is creating a file).
I'm using pydbg for my hooking needs, but if your answer uses something different, feel free to still answer.
Thanks :)
It seems you need something like watchdog, pyinotify or python-inotify. You can also see this SO question for other options.

I'm Working on a program that takes in text from the user and then implements functionalities in the backend, kind of like an interpreter, I have the parser working amazingly in python but some of the backend capabilities I feel would do great on c. I have looked into CPython but I don't seem to understand how to do it if it's even possible at all. I'm just a beginner, if someone could guide that will be very helpful.
CPython is just an implementation of Python in the C programming language. If you want to incorporate C code, you can write extension modules documented here.
Check out this StackOverflow post as well.
Alternatively, write a C program, compile it, and then call it via the subprocess module documented here.

I'm looking for a way to create a function that takes two args, time and operation and it does the operation at the given time as an argument. The script should be running on a server and it reads the data from a Redis-like database. I'm trying to find a way to do that avoid using any other frameworks or non-standard packages. Have any idea about that?
See the library https://github.com/dbader/schedule and this example https://github.com/dbader/schedule/blob/master/docs/examples.rst#run-a-job-once

I was wondering if there's any Python code I can run that, assuming the Python code has not been tampered with, will return an ID specific to that computer that cannot be spoofed. My initial thought was to use MAC addresses, but I know those can be easily spoofed. How about CPU serial number? How would I go about doing that?
Thanks.
This is an impossible problem, as it's equivalent to effective DRM. Every identifier can be spoofed. Remember, the user can tamper with your Python code (any compiling/obfuscating/encrypting you do can be reversed, so don't bother) to return whatever identifier they want. (And even if your code were absolutely read-only, they could change the Python runtime or the OS to do whatever they want.)

I want to write a script to check if I am able to stream an online video in a website. I just want a binary no (0 or 1) to see if the content is working or not and I want to do it via Python.
I have search in the internet but couldn't found an adequate answer.
The easier solution would be to calculate your internet consumption. If your internet consumption is higher than a certain limit, then you may assume that your streaming is working fine. If not, you may configure an alert.

Am going to design a game about raising dragons but don't know a way of saving my session/exp/stats so it would be pointless! Can't work out how to use pickle so can somebody give me an answer?
P.S.Simplify your answers as I am stupid
Here is a link for info on basic I/O in the standard library: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html You will want to store the data from the game in some format (that is up to you) to a file, and then, later, you will read the file, and parse the data, and put it back into memory when the user comes back from a previous session.
