Will it function *globally*? It's for an application launcher, I have to be
able to press the keystroke even when watching a full-screen movie with no
focus whatsoever over the python application.

I doubt it. Doing a little Googling, I found this C program: http://jaredforsyth.com/content/linux-global-hotkeys
It uses xlib, which Python has wrappers for, so you should be able to port it to Python: http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/
Whatever you use, it will need to hook into the OS's window system to do this and probably run as some kind of background process.
