I need to intercept keystrokes and mouse events at the system level, basically like a keystroke logger, not being familiar enough with the apple frameworks, can anyone point me in the right direction as far as a python package? I thought maybe "Events" in the Carbon package but from reading the apple api documentation this leads me to believe this will only work for events in the current application, vs system wide.
I don't know of any API that allows you to do this. But it could well be that there's something (maybe deep down in the accessibility stuff?), you should ask on a generic MacOSX developer list. Then once you've found the API you want we should be able to tell you whether it's available from Python.
