Python Hotkeys

[kontex]

So I'm fairly new to python and for boredom and practical purposes I want to make a programme that starts up on launch and opent a .exe file upon keypress. I have already looked at plenty of tutorials and I can't get pip to work to download py2exe to make the programme. At this point I don't know what I'm writing but I NEED HELP

Well... it really helps if you show the code that's failing, and the error output you're getting... 

Pip not working can be a result of many things. We can't answer without that info

Yeah ,see I sort of plugged my PC out after 2 days of tinkering with this...But it was showing an error in cmd where it stopped. C:/Python37/Scripts>pip install py2exe .That may not be exactly what I had typed but it was showing an error in the "Python37/Scripts" part as it couldn't find it

Not sure why you're needing py2exe to achieve this. I actually have a sample program lying around I wrote myself for key-presses:

import win32api, win32con, time
from pynput import keyboard

def on_release(key):
    if key == keyboard.Key.esc:
        # Kill listener
        return False
    if key == 'your key':
        #open file
        return True

with keyboard.Listener(
        on_release=on_release) as listener:
    listener.join()

Just install the dependencies and you'll be good to go.
