As I promised couple of day a go

When we discuss a global window events. and i wanted to generate
event when the user click on a key out of my application. I promised
that if will found how to do it i'l show you.

I found this article which explain very simply how to hook py width
pyHook lib
http://mindtrove.info/articles/monitoring-global-input-with-pyhook/

now the following code combine between wxpython and phHook. I know
this code probably looks not efficient and unorganized. I'm really new
width this stuff, but it works fine.

before you try it you better install the pyHook from the following
link

*note theirs an image url you would have to edit in order for it to be
work
