Python evdev equivalent for Windows 10

Is there a Windows-10 64 bit evdev equivalent that can be directly installed from the Anaconda command line? Example:

[Anaconda2] C:\Users\User>conda install -c auto evdev_equivalent

Attempts to install pyHook from the anaconda command line was unsuccessful:

[Anaconda2] C:\Users\User>anaconda search -t conda pyhook
Using Anaconda Cloud api site https://api.anaconda.org
Run 'anaconda show <USER/PACKAGE>' to get more details:

If you're going to wrangle raw input across platforms, you might want to look at existing solutions to handle the platform differences for you. This allows you to maintain a single code base and not deal with platform differences that might effectively force you to implement for every supported platform. Or even worse, One implementation for everything and one Windows-only implementation with an if-wrapped conditional import.

You could look into using SDL2 for which there are Python bindings. And according to the docs, it should work with Python 2.7 (though I really hope one would opt for a more modern Python version in this day and age)

If you're worried about the requirement of having SDL2 available for your users, there's a lib package for that as well.
