Keystroke logger for Windows

[Peter Parente]

I have a Python library that can capture system wide keystrokes and
mouse events. Basically, the windows hooking code is in a C Python
extension that passes callback information back to Python when an
event occurs. I'll
post it to our Python tools sourceforge site in the near future. (I
need to clean it up a bit and provide an example before it will be the
least bit useful to you.)

When it's posted, it will appear at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools/ as the pyHook project.
