pyhook_py3k's Introduction

Python3 fork of pyHook

Introduction

Copy from official site:

pyHook is a python wrapper for global input hooks in Windows. Specifically it wraps the Windows SetWindowsHookEx API function using low-level keyboard (WH_KEYBOARD_LL) and mouse (WH_MOUSE_LL) hooks. The pyHook package provides callbacks for global mouse and keyboard events in Windows. Python applications register can event handlers for user input events such as left mouse down, left mouse up, key down, etc. and set the keyboard and/or mouse hook. The underlying C library reports information like the time of the event, the name of the window in which the event occurred, the value of the event, any keyboard modifiers, etc. Events can be logged and/or filtered.

Install

Build with MSVC9

Make sure you are under "Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt".

python setup.py build_ext --swig=path-to-swig.exe
pip install .

About this fork

Unicode

Fixed unicode decoding bug of window title. This bug may cause crashing on exit randomly. Usually with console output:

TypeError: MouseSwitch() takes exactly 9 arguments (1 given)

TypeError: KeyboardSwitch() takes exactly 9 arguments (1 given)

Freezing

Original pyHook will cause "cannot find _cpyHook module" error when using PyInstaller or cx-freeze to freeze python app. You need manually rename pyHook._cpyHook to _cpyHook. Now it's compatible with cx-freeze.

R6031 runtime error when quit program

Hi, I compile pyhook+python3.4 with the guide: https://blog.ionelmc.ro/2014/12/21/compiling-python-extensions-on-windows/
But when I quit my pyhook program, the error popup.
Any idea? Thanks~

python3.6下可以安装运行吗?

python3.6下可以安装运行吗? 那我还得找个visio studio 2008 prompt

Access violation, try/catch?

Mouse hook (all) doesn't work on my end creating access violation and silently exit the program.
It looks like that when I move the mouse quickly to the top edge it exits with access violation. I found the bug is on the line

win_name_decoded = PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault(win_name);

and later on

Py_DECREF(win_name_decoded);

A temporary solution was to completely disable decode
win_name_decoded = win_name; //PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault(win_name);

and it works fine on python but when I create exe out of it

pyinstall.exe myfile.py

the bug is still there and access violation appears.

And my question is why there is no try/catch on the cpyHook.i ?
Can anyone help me how to include the entire code in a try/catch so it will not silently exit the program upon error? I find very bad design from the original developer having an entire project without any try/catch.
