Questions about specialised modules like Pykeylogger will have a much 
better chance of being answered if you ask in a dedicated Pykeylogger 
forum. If there is none, try emailing the author.

If you do get an answer elsewhere, please consider passing it on here so 
others can learn about it too.

Have you looked at how GUIs like wxPython and Tkinter handle key events? 
That might help.
