Pyhook UTF-8 issue

Question

I'm making a python app that triggers an action when the print screen key is pressed. I'm using pyhook library. However, every time I press a character written with the language of my country (ãíé and others) is doubling the characters . For example : ~~a ''e ''i , causing problems in the normal user written use. Is there any way to fix ?

So you react to the print screen button, what does that have to do with other characters? — Fredrik, Feb 07 '16 at 22:36

Suggested method: use pygame module instead of pythoncom for pump events

hooks_manager = pyHook.HookManager()
hooks_manager.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
hooks_manager.HookKeyboard()
# Dont use pythoncom.PumpMessages()

pygame.init()
while True:
    pygame.event.pump()

Old method: try to change preferred language and switch it back (just toggle), it may help.

For ex:

Add one more language pack (not keyboard layout, input type same)
Change preferred language
Switch back to old one (that you are using)
Switch back again if doesn't work
