How to get the state of the cursor?

I was wondering if there was any way in Python 3.8 to read the cursor type like how win32gui could do with win32gui.GetCursorInfo(), Finding the id of the cursor. Below is what I mean by cursor state:

Cursors

I've made some improvements to be more streamlined

from win32con import IDC_APPSTARTING, IDC_ARROW, IDC_CROSS, IDC_HAND, \
IDC_HELP, IDC_IBEAM, IDC_ICON, IDC_NO, IDC_SIZE, IDC_SIZEALL, \
IDC_SIZENESW, IDC_SIZENS, IDC_SIZENWSE, IDC_SIZEWE, IDC_UPARROW, IDC_WAIT

from win32gui import LoadCursor, GetCursorInfo

DEFAULT_CURSORS = {
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_APPSTARTING): 'appStarting',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_ARROW): 'Arrow', LoadCursor(0, IDC_CROSS): 'Cross',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_HAND): 'Hand', LoadCursor(0, IDC_HELP): 'Help',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_IBEAM): 'IBeam', LoadCursor(0, IDC_ICON): 'ICon',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_NO): 'No', LoadCursor(0, IDC_SIZE): 'Size',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_SIZEALL): 'sizeAll',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_SIZENESW): 'sizeNesw',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_SIZENS): 'sizeNs',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_SIZENWSE): 'sizeNwse',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_SIZEWE): 'sizeWe',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_UPARROW): 'upArrow',
    LoadCursor(0, IDC_WAIT): 'Wait',
}


def get_current_cursor():
    curr_cursor_handle = GetCursorInfo()[1]
    res = DEFAULT_CURSORS.get(curr_cursor_handle, 'None')
    return res

if __name__ == '__main__':
    while True:
        get_current_cursor()

Please find the code below.

reference: https://www.iditect.com/how-to/10284849.html, but I modified it a little bit:

from win32con import IDC_APPSTARTING, IDC_ARROW, IDC_CROSS, IDC_HAND, \
IDC_HELP, IDC_IBEAM, IDC_ICON, IDC_NO, IDC_SIZE, IDC_SIZEALL, \
IDC_SIZENESW, IDC_SIZENS, IDC_SIZENWSE, IDC_SIZEWE, IDC_UPARROW, IDC_WAIT

from win32gui import LoadCursor, GetCursorInfo

def get_current_cursor():
    curr_cursor_handle = GetCursorInfo()[1]
    return Cursor.from_handle(curr_cursor_handle)

class Cursor(object):
    @classmethod
    def from_handle(cls, handle):
        for cursor in DEFAULT_CURSORS:
            if cursor[1].handle == handle:
                return cursor[0] #DEFAULT_CURSORS.index(cursor) , Cursor.__init__
        return cls(handle=handle)

    def __init__(self, cursor_type=None, handle=None):
        if handle is None:
            handle = LoadCursor(0, cursor_type)
        self.type = cursor_type
        self.handle = handle

DEFAULT_CURSORS = (('APPSTARTING',Cursor(IDC_APPSTARTING)), ('ARROW',Cursor(IDC_ARROW)), ('CROSS',Cursor(IDC_CROSS)), ('HAND',Cursor(IDC_HAND)), \
       ('HELP',Cursor(IDC_HELP)), ('IBEAM',Cursor(IDC_IBEAM)), ('ICON',Cursor(IDC_ICON)), ('NO',Cursor(IDC_NO)), ('SIZE',Cursor(IDC_SIZE)),\
       ('SIZEALL', Cursor(IDC_SIZEALL)),('SIZENESW', Cursor(IDC_SIZENESW)), ('SIZENS',Cursor(IDC_SIZENS)), ('SIZENWSE',Cursor(IDC_SIZENWSE)),\
        ('SIZEWE', Cursor(IDC_SIZEWE)), ('UPARROW', Cursor(IDC_UPARROW)), ('WAIT',Cursor(IDC_WAIT)))

while(True):
    print(get_current_cursor())
