[pygtk] emitting a keypress event with shift modifier

[Joshua Immanuel]

Hello,
I am trying to write a virtual keyboard for multiple languages. I did
the following

event = gtk.gdk.Event(gtk.gdk.KEY_PRESS)
event.keyval = gtk.keysyms.a
event.state = gtk.gdk.SHIFT_MASK
event.window = win.get_root_window()

widget.emit('key-press-event', event)

For the above code I expected the output to be a capital 'A' but what I
got was lower case 'a'

As the virtual keyboard is designed for multiple language i just want
the application to be generic so that if I change the X11's keyboard
layout the key emitted should be in the value in the corresponding language.

Please help me in this regard

regards
