I think this is the SendKeys module in question:

You can get the zipped source from archive.org above, along with
binaries for 2.1-2.6. The source  has a setup.py, but as Oscar said
already you'll need a C compiler. You can use Visual Studio 2008 to
compile it for 2.6/2.7. There are direct links for VS 2008 Express
edition (free as in beer) in this SO answer:

Or use MinGW-w64 if you prefer since the source isn't C++:

There's also a binary installer for 2.7 here, courtesy of Christoph Gohlke:
