Actually, it's pretty easy, using the pyHook and Python win32 modules.
I use code like this to detect when the user is away from the keyboard.

import pyHook
import time
import pythoncom

def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
    print event.Ascii

hm = pyHook.HookManager()
hm.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
hm.HookKeyboard()

while True:
    pythoncom.PumpMessages()
