Python - Get Path of Selected File in Current Windows Explorer -
i trying this in python 2.7. have found answer in c# here, having trouble recreating in python. answer suggested here explain concept understand, have no idea how going.
basically want mark file, press winkey+c , have path copied. know how hotkey part (pyhk, win32 [registerhotkey]), trouble working around filepath.
thanks in advance!
it takes lot of hacking around, rough solution below:

no file view found') so keep checking if active window of class explorer window uses, iterates through children widgets find address bar , file list view. when extracts list of files listvies , requests selected index. gets , decodes text address bar.
@ bottom info combined give complete path, folder path, file name or combination thereof.
i have tested on windows xp python3.4, need install win32gui , win32 conn packages.
