Monitoring Function keys on Windows?

[Matt Gerrans]

You can use win32api.GetKeyState() - like so:

>>> import win32api, win32con
>>> win32api.GetKeyState( win32con.VK_F7 )
0
>>> win32api.GetKeyState( win32con.VK_F7 )  # While holding down F7 key.
-127

By the way, look in the Win32 extensions help for this kind of thing.   You
can find that here:

  C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\win32\Help\PythonWin32Extensions.hlp

Or someplace similar, depending upon what version and where you installed
Python and the Python Win32 extensions.
