You don't. For example, the Accelerator keys are typically encoded in
the context of the main message loop via a call to
TranslateAccelerator() (Win32 API), and you can pass almost anything -
including an acceleratortable constructed in memory from scratch -
there.

SetWindowsHookEx(), but not from Python (its not in win32all), because
e.g. for a global hook (that is, one that gets called from all
applications), you need to write a .DLL IIRC.
