I do not want a single script because, eventually, the plan is to have a

write each function in its own script and put a hotkey on each one, it
seems easier and faster to just make one script and run it once,
avoiding the delay I always get when this script runs for the first time
from happening each time I press a hotkey.
I've got slightly lost in this thread (not helped, I'm
afraid Alex, by your habit of top-posting ;) ) but in
an effort to be helpful, can I suggest the following.
Instead of fiddling with pyHooks which are -- as Tim R
points out -- somewhat dark and messy, consider adapting
the following example instead:
http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/catch_system_wide_hotkeys.html
This uses a straightforward Windows message loop to
provide to sort of global hotkeys I think you're after.
You might, for example, change the handle_win_f3
function to start a wmi instance (or use an existing
one) and then produce the output you were after.
Thanks!! I "top post" since, when you use a screen reader, it is far easier
to read a response straight away than it is to wade through a bunch of text
you have already read, complete with many repetitions of "greater than". I
will try to make in-line comments.
Anyway, I have copied the example you provided and am about to go modify it.
If it works, it should help a lot! I just hope it will clear up the wmi
errors I keep getting... Thanks for the link!
