Fake KeyPress Trigger in python

Question

Is it possible to make a keypress trigger in python? and if so, then what's the simplest approach to make it?

What I'm trying to accomplish is just to make a simple fake trigger, that by executing a function makes the system listen that I've pressed the key.

for example that in a code, that I have pressed the 'Page Up' Key. I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 this is what I am looking for

#function for auto trigger key pressed
def autoPressedPageUp():
   pressed.key("PageUp")

#if it recieved a message from a network
#it will call the function of trigger
if recievedMessage:
   autoPressedPageUp()

is it possible?

Way back in Visual Basic, there was a feature called SendKeys. SendKeys functionality has been implemented in many languages. I would try this project for python. Have not used it myself.
