It seems, one can obtain the python package using

pip install idle-time

https://pypi.org/project/idle-time/

The issue is that the project has just 2 commits, a pull request for 
wider support of various environments is ignored by the author. The 
package already has CLI interface, but output format is not script-friendly:

https://github.com/escaped/idle_time/blob/master/idle_time/__main__.py
print(f"Idle time: {monitor.get_idle_time()}s")

python3 -m idle-time

I see X11 and Windows in the implementation. xprintidle might be more 
reliable though.

As to Org my opinion is still that a defcustom for user-defined function 
returning idle may be a better option.
