PyHook for Python 3.3

Question

I am coding a simple keylogger using Python. I hope to use pyHook to capture keyboard events. I could not find the pyHook packages for python 3.3 that I installed. Is there any other module for python 3.3 that provides similar functions?

Answer 1

A quick google appeared on this site , which has unofficial installers for pyHook 1.5.1 (and many other packages) for Python 3.3. I have not tested it, but it seems worth a try. And on the first page of Google results, there are several other similar repositories if this file does not work.

I also found several forks on github , for example this one , which have fixes for Unicode errors in 3.x. I don’t know if bugs were fixed in the main pyHook project (or introduced in release 1.5.1), but if you encounter problems, you can take a look.

You will have more options if you installed the compiler (MinGW and / or Visual Studio Express) and used easy_install or pip to automatically install packages, creating them from the source if necessary. Then you will not need to look for binary installers for everything.

Answer 2

The unofficial installers mentioned by abarnert seem to be working fine. They provide installers for almost every version of Python - with the exception of 3.5, which is currently considered unstable anyway (07/10/14), so this is not a big problem.
