Run python script when computer is not being used?

Vote count: 0

I recently got into machine-learning. I'm running a pythonscript that is heavy on my processor. My first idea was to setup a cron-job that was running in the background and then in python cancel the job if the time is between 06:00 and 07:00 in the morning. (The job should ideally only be canceled at certain stages.)

0 1 * * *  cd ~/web/im2txt/im2txt && ./train.sh >/Users/kristoffer/Desktop/train.py 2>/Users/kristoffer/Desktop/train.log

But then I got thinking, is there someway, either in python or via shell to run a script if the computer is not being used? Is in idle or something like that?
