emulate a key press

[Bart Nessux]

This probaly isn't possible with Python, but I thought I'd ask.

I want to emulate a key press programatically. I want the computer (G5
running Mac OSX 10.3) to think that the user has pressed the space bar on
the keyboard. Any module in Python that makes this easy? If not, I'll do
something in C.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to do that in C, I don't believe the API is
wrapped. An even easier way would be to use Pyrex to create a Python
extension for what you are trying to do.

Oh, and a better place to ask this question would probably be the
pythonmac-sig list.
