What does `import sys` and then `sys.path` tell you? Is C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages listed there? — haraldkl, Sep 07 '15 at 21:54
Python 2.7.10 (default, May 23 2015, 09:44:00) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on wi n32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.path ['', 'C:\\Windows\\SYSTEM32\\python27.zip', 'C:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\ \lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27 ', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32' , 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packa ges\\Pythonwin'] >>> Yes there is — Danny Rock, Sep 08 '15 at 08:04
How did you install pyHook on 64-bit Python? It seems the latest build has 32-bit only installers: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyhook/files/pyhook/1.5.1/ Did you get it from another source? — Vasily Ryabov, Oct 01 '15 at 14:36
For pure Python I would recommend `hooked`: https://github.com/IronManMark20/pyhooked It's for keyboard hooks only. But you don't need any binaries like .pyd files in pyHook. — Vasily Ryabov, Oct 01 '15 at 14:40

First of all win32 is not the pyHook module it is an other module.

Here is how to install pyHook:

1.You can find the download link here http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyhook

2.If you have python 32bit you want pyhook 32 bit (Download #1 for Python 2.7).

3.If you have python 64bit you want pyHook 64 bit (Download #2 for Python 2.7).

4.Extract the zip file.

5.In the command prompt navigate to the folder where you extracted the .zip.

6.Type the command 'pip install pyHook-1.5.1-cp27-none-win32.whl' for the 32 bit version or 'pip install pyHook-1.5.1-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl'

Good Luck!
