pyHook

I am making a simple keylogger in Python. It was turned into an .exe file by putting all the necessary stuff into a rar and additionally creating a vbs to run it silently. It records all input and stores it in a txt file once it's terminated via Task Manager. I was testing what it could do and I noticed it did not record any input in the windows UA prompt (And of course this was not my actual intent). I was wondering why this happens. Thanks in advance.

Here you can view the keylogger code:

Python interpreter: 3.7

Python library: pywinhook https://pypi.org/project/pyWinhook/.

Objective: Add some features or functions to pywinhook library.

Tutorial to build this library: This library was done from pyHook library. That is why I am using the following tutorial to build this library https://sourceforge.net/p/pyhook/wiki/PyHook_Build_Instructions/.

Steps done: I downloaded the source code of the library. I installed the MinGW and SWIG. I added the environment variables required.

Issues: When I am executing python setup.py build -cmingw32, I got the following error and I could not continue with the process. If someone could explain to me what I should do. Thanks in advance

The last lines of the execution was:

I need to programmatically press the control and the right arrow key simultaneously using the keyboard package.

I tried

I am i Ubuntu OS and get this error when try install this python script, in pycharm which needs to install pyHook module but get this error:

I am using Python3.8.0, my PC is x64 bit and my code starts as :

import pyHook

When I run the program, it shows :

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "abc.py", line 1, in

import pyHook

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyHook'

I have already installed Pyhook and I have verified it in cmd by writing the following code

python -m pip install pyWinhook-1.6.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

Output :

Requirement already satisfied

I visited these links, but it did not helped: Getting "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyHook'" even with module installed

This link PyHook on python 3.5 says that I should Install pyhook32 even if I have 64bit. I tried that and cmd does'nt allow system to install that.

Anyone have any other idea ? Please help me if I am doing anything wrong :-(

I want to develop an app that helps me to record all the keyboard and mouse events executed in a particular Windows Application for example in Microsoft Excel, Acrobat, Notepad, and so on.

I tried Pyhook and Win32gui to achieve my goal so far. However, I do not know how to retrieve the following information:

• Target element name which was clicked or where user wrote something (For example if the application is notepad I would like to store "Format" when the user clicked on Format menu)
• Xpath of that target element name (Following the example above, I want to know, for that menu Format, its parent handle and respective class parent)

Thank you so much for your help or advice and please forgive me if I wrote something incorrectly. I am very new with Python ;)

I'd like a Python script to run constantly in background and do something when a certain keyboard shortcut is pressed, such as WIN+A.

I've read Key Listeners in python? and solutions using pynput, but it seems to work and detect key presses when the window/console has focus.

Question: how to detect a keyboard shortcut in Python, such as WIN+A, and launch a function when it happens, even if the focus is somewhere else (e.g. browser, etc.)?

Note: my OS is Windows. Also I would prefer that the Python script only "registers" listening to WIN+A (does this exist?), and does not listen to all keypresses (otherwise it would be more or less a keylogger, which I don't want!).

Here is what I have tried:

I am trying to install PyHook using PIP. When I run the command on cmd pip install pyhook3 I get a C1080 error that tells me there is no such .h file located in my directory. I traced the directory, downloaded the file and it showed me another. I kept doing this until I noticed that there seems to be no end. There seems to be a lot of missing .h files in this includes folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\include directory. I don't want to have to download or copy and paste source code for each of these files. Is there any way to get all of them at once, or am I missing the plot entirely?

win32api & pyhook - How to get the user's typing language?

In this topic there is clear answer how to get current user language, but I wanna use set with get.

This probably should be a function

ctypes.windll.user32.ActivateKeyboardLayout()

With some params.

Is there a way in python how to use this function (in the way like it was described in topic above?)
