Py-keylogger

A Simple Keylogger for Linux written in Python using the pyxhook module which is an implementation of pyhook module (for Windows OS).

Changes:

• reduced CPU utilization ( removed "mouse move" hook )
• organized output (grouped chars with the same "window context", showing the process name and the time).
