Bitcoin API? (Bitcoin-QT?)

[Peleus]

Hey all,

I'm looking to try and detect when someone sends me a transaction, and take actions with a little python script.

Does anyone know how I could do this? Is there some type of API call for bitcoin-qt or something like that to do this? Are there alternative wallets that would allow it?

Sorry I know this is very very basic, but I'm just looking into it for the first time.

Cheers.

Never mind,

Can't delete and guess I didn't search hard enough. This is what I was after - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4324.0
