If you are using Windows, Use PyHook If you like to know system wide key press events.

import pythoncom, pyHook 

def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
    print 'Ascii:', event.Ascii, chr(event.Ascii)
    print 'Key:', event.Key
    print 'KeyID:', event.KeyID
    print 'ScanCode:', event.ScanCode
    print 'Extended:', event.Extended

    return True #for pass through key events, False to eat Keys

hm = pyHook.HookManager()
hm.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
hm.HookKeyboard()
pythoncom.PumpMessages()

If you are using Linux it's found in the curses module, if you use Windows it's in the msvcrt module. I found following article really helpful in describing this topic - Event Driven Programming
