I am having trouble with pyHook on python 2.4.1. Basically I have a
python app that uses pyHook to capture keyboard events and write them
straight to a file. The application is running as a service on a
windows machine. If I am at that windows machine the application
works just fine, logging my keystrokes. However, if I use Remote
Desktop to connect to the machine and open up say Notepad it doesn't
capture the keystrokes. Is this a problem with pyHook? or is it he
way Windows handles the events?
Is there a way to setup my own hook without pyHook using just python?
i think the function I am interested in is SetWindowsHookE x.
Thanks in advance.

The answer depends on which GUI library you use.
E.g. if you use MFC there is an object called win32ui.PyCWnd that has
methods for hooking key strokes.

I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with pyHook. I'm also fairly sure
that you can't log the keystrokes of someone who is logged onto your
machine from another; that would be a major security flaw. The only
way (I think) this would work is if you wrote your own remote desktop
program that logged keystrokes, and then sent it to the remote
computer when logging off.

I want to use the pyHook module to capture all keyboard input and write it
to a file. I have a script that works fine with the command prompt, but I
have a few issues I need help with. First, I want to be able to set up an
html page that has a link to this script and have it start running and
collecting output, and then use some keystroke like alt+f4 to terminate the
application. It seems when I run this script from internet explorer...

To debug pyKeyLogger, I wrote this with pyHook (and compiled with
py2exe on Win2K), which prints the ascii codes as expected on Win2K:
import pyHook
import time
import pythoncom
def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
print event.Ascii

Hello,
I have a Windows Pyhon-Tk app which need to capture mouse end keyboard
events even when the app is not in focus.
On Windows so far I've used the excellent PyHook which does the job
perfectly:
" The pyHook library wraps the low-level mouse and keyboard hooks in
the Windows Hooking API for use in Python applications."

Hi,
i want to write an app which has to log various user activity, such as opening

windows are related to one task he/she is currently doing.
I thought of using a windows shell hook, which notifies the program similar to a
keyboard hook when a top-level window is created or destroyed. The pyHook
extension shows that this is possible, but only supports...

I use pyhook to monitor user usage of keyboard and mouse. According to
pyhook specs, event.time hold the number of seconds since the epoch.
However, when I use the example source code I get numbers like
358054093, which translates to 07 May 1981..
Can anyone explain to me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

If you want to compile your program the new py2exe release 0.6.8 wont
work!
the pyhook function will be ignored
you'll have to uninstall the 0.6.8 version and to install the 0.6.6
instead
it took me 2 days to find the solution.
maybe some day someone will bump the same problem and find this

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
