This group is really about learning the python language and standard 
library and that's a pretty deeply Windows specific question. I suspect 
you'll have more success on the win32 mailing list.

This is really about how to handle Windows mouse events rather than 
Python per se. I suspect the answer will be the same regardless of
the language you use.

You can try the Python Windows mailing list or the newsgroup version on 
gmane:

Or even some of the more generic Windows programming lists/groups/fora
