#PyHooked: a pure Python hotkey module
####About - PyHooked is a pure python keyboard and mouse hotkey module that allows the creation of hotkeys in all Python implementations that support sane implementations of ctypes. Instead of messing around with low level Windows calls, just give Hooked a callback and tell it to start listening.
PyHooked supports IronPython (2.7.5+, incl. 2.7.6 RC2), PyPy (5.3.1+) and CPython (Tested:2.7 x86,3.4 x64,3.5 x86; Most are likely to work) currently. It is pure Python, so porting to other Python implementations and versions should be very simple.
####Usage - Please see example.py for a basic example.
I you are using it with a UI library, please see example_gui.py
Please note that the wiki is out of date, and needs to be updated.
####Installing
Just run $ pip install git+https://github.com/ethanhs/pyhooked.git
####Alternatives - pyHook and pyhk inspired the creation of this project. They are great hotkey modules too!
