How about getkeyboardstate/setkeyboardstate functions, put together

Actually, after doing some more reading, there may be a way to do what you want with the SendInput API. I don't see SendInput in any of the Win32 wrappers in Python, but you should be able to access it with ctypes. Here's a link to some C# code that demonstrates it:

Note that this wants scan codes, not virtual keys.
Also... why don't i really want to do the kernel filter drivers? They
certainly sound like i dont want to do them :) but i wonder why. Too
involved and painful? Chance to screw up the whole system?
The kernel world is a strange and magical one. The learning curve is steep, and the environment is unforgiving. If you make a mistake in a Python app, you get an exception and you try again. If you make a mistake in a kernel driver, you get a bluescreen and you reboot, and you hope that the NTFS file system remembered to flush the pending changes to disk.
I write drivers for a living.
