One of the cool tricks BT could be used for is the proximity monitor.

which basically pools my cellular for RSSI. if my RSSI decreases, It "know" I am leaving the pc.
I was wondering if its possible to receive these RSSI indications in an event driven manner , thus, reducing the pooling work.

I dont know python :-( can any one hint me where I may ask for help on this?

no. You have to be connected to that device or you need a device that is discoverable and a local dongle with Inquiry with RSSI support.
