PYHK is as simple as this:
import pyhk
def fun():
print "Do something"
#create pyhk class instance
hot = pyhk.pyhk()
#add hotkey
hot.addHotkey(['Ctrl', 'Alt','7'],fun)
#start looking for hotkey.

##Known Issues
Python IDLE freezes at times. Best use is to call your script directly from the command line with python YOURSCRIPT.py.
After logout or sleep on some machines the hotkeys get triggered by only pressing the modifiers.
