Keylogger in Python for windows

A keylogger which will capture all the keyboard activity and associate it with the current active window running by record all of this in a text file.

Its a demo code.  I'm also sharing screen shots showing how it stores the keystrokes and active window information.

This snapshot show it is capturing login information of a specific website in a text file.

Here it has captured the text which is been entered in url

Python Keylogger Source code

You'll need three libraries py2exe,pyhook,pywin32 to be installed on the host in order to run this code.

keylogger.py
