[python-win32] Keystrokes Python

Wondered if Python could solve this problem:

I have laptop with XP. To adjust screen contrast I hit FN key then F11.
It does not work well - I end up with too little/much contrast - the key
combo does not provide the granularity/fine adjustment I want. There's
no 0-100 bar graph as well. It's probably tied with the ACPI - Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface too which I know very little about -
If I reset the BIOS to defaults, monitor settings seem to go back to
normal.

What I thought of doing was somehow programatically recreate one (1)
FN-F11 keystoke message and see what effect it has. 

Probably complicating the problem is that pressing FN-F11 one rasies
contrast and then pressing it again lowers contrast...

Are there some doable Python methods for this? I'm not a guru but link
me and I'd give it a try.

Thanks,
Lee G.
