Python 3.x - Getting the state of caps-lock/num-lock/scroll-lock on Windows
Install pywin32
for Python 3.x
Here is the example for checking capslock state.
from win32api import GetKeyState
from win32con import VK_CAPITAL
GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL)
You can use ctypes to load user32.dll and then call GetKeyState with nVirtKey = VK_CAPITAL (0x14)
def get_capslock_state():
import ctypes
hllDll = ctypes.WinDLL ("User32.dll")
VK_CAPITAL = 0x14
return hllDll.GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL)
