How to generate keyboard events in Python?

Question

Answer 1

Every platform is going to have a different approach to being able to generate keyboard events. This is because they each need to make use of system libraries (and system extensions). For a cross platform solution, you would need to take each of these solutions and wrap then into a platform check to perform the proper approach.

For windows, you might be able to use the pywin32 extension. win32api.keybd_event

win32api.keybd_event

keybd_event(bVk, bScan, dwFlags, dwExtraInfo)

Simulate a keyboard event

Parameters

bVk : BYTE - Virtual-key code
bScan : BYTE - Hardware scan code
dwFlags=0 : DWORD - Flags specifying various function options
dwExtraInfo=0 : DWORD - Additional data associated with keystroke

You will need to investigate pywin32 for how to properly use it, as I have never used it.
