I believe there is a lower level API in Windows that allows recording
events and playing them back. It's frequently used by automation
packages and GUI testing tools that are not application specific.
I don't know whether the API is implemented in either of the Windows
Python distributions, however.
Having event recording within the application is a good idea,
because external recording tends to be very fragile.
