pykeys

Python Module (C-extension based) for injecting Keyboard events. This is purposely a C-extension based plugin so that it can be easily included in FL Studio Midi Scripts.

Goals of this Project

To create self-contained libraries that can be included in FL Studio (Mac and Windows) midi scripts (and possibly distributed with FL Studio if Image-Line chooses) to enable properly injecting keyboard events.

How to Use

Copy the pyd files in the dist/ folder (or you can pick and choose the pyd files in the lib.* folders) into your midiscript folder.

To use, your could would do the following:

import pykeys


# Assign the modifier key 0 for not pressed, and 1 if pressed.
shift = 0
cmd_win = 0    # Win key on windows and Command key on Macs
ctrl = 0       # Ctrl key on both win/mac
opt_alt = 0    # Alt key on windows and Option key on Macs

retValue = pykeys.send('f6', shift, cmd_win, ctrl, opt_alt)
# Returns true if successfully sent.

Building

The command to build is:

python setup.py build_ext -f

To specify a specific platform, use --plat-name.

Windows Notes

If PyBridge define files are updated, you can update the library with the following commands:

lib /def:PyBridge.def /out:PyBridge.lib /machine:x86
lib /def:PyBridge_x64.def /out:PyBridge_x64.lib /machine:x64

• FL's PyBridge is missing the symbol PyModule_Create. Need to use PyModule_Create2 instead
