Drawing graphics outside windows using python

[zesterer]

Hey all,

I'd like to write a small little program like xpenguins. I feel the original xpenguins is somewhat lacking in performance and compatibility with compiz and unity, so I want to make my own.

My question is this: Which python graphics library will allow me to draw OUTSIDE of windows?

I want to draw 2D transparent graphics without a window border around them on the screen.

Thanks very much,
