OK, did another web search relating to this now, and found the following
page:
http://atcoalition.org/article/large-computer-pointerscursors
Either way, there they mention that on windows, if you go to mouse pointer
options, there's an option you can enable/turn on:
Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key
And it apparently makes the mouse cursor turn into a relatively visible
bulls eye type pointer then...?
Also means that if partially sighted guys find the right .cur file to maybe
replace the specifically used bullseye file with, they should easily enough
be able to implement something like a large cross hair cursor based on a
keystroke as such, using built in windows functionality.

Ok, just tested it using win32gui.GetCursorPos function, and it does seem
to obtain coordinates outside primary window as well, so let's see -
thanks.

Wondering off-hand if there's a simple/easy way to obtain mouse cursor

win32gui.GetCursorPos will return the current mouse position in screen
coordinates.
Your second question is not clear to me. An application does not
receive mouse messages when the mouse goes outside its window, unless it
is using "mouse capture". If you click on a button control and hold the
mouse button down, then drag the mouse outside the button, you'll notice
that the button window stays depressed until you release the mouse.
That happens because the button control "captures the mouse". All mouse
messages are directed only to the button until it releases capture,
which it will do when the mouse button is released.
Beyond that, you'll have to ask a more specific question.
