For those who don’t know what is a keylogger:

Quoted from Wikipedia

Keystroke logging (often called keylogging) is the practice of tracking (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. There are numerous keylogging methods, ranging from hardware and software-based to electromagnetic and acoustic analysis.

The main purpose of a keylogger is to read all the inputs goven by user via keyboard and store them for later reference. People generally use this kind of software for hacking passwords, credit card numbers and other personal data.You can read more about keyloggers at Wikipedia

PyKeylogger is a simple keylogging software completely written in Python.  It was supposed to be a backup utility but it’s ability of running in stealth mode made it more popular as a keylogging software.  It is one of it’s kind and the reason behind saying this is it can run on almost any operating system (Windows, OpenBSD, Linux, Solaris, Mac)

Features:

• Log all keystrokes to disk, to a delimited data file
• Automatically archive logfiles to dated zips
• Automatic log rotation
• Automatically send zipped log archives to specified email address[es] (works with any SMTP server, including GMail and Yahoo Mail secure SMTP servers)
• Automatically upload zipped log archives to a specified FTP server.
• Takes a partial screenshot, centered at the location of every mouse click.
• Takes a full screenshot at fixed time intervals, if the computer is not idle.
• Automatically flush write buffer to disk, to minimize data loss in the event of a crash
• Very customizable, through configuration with a .ini text file
• GUI (graphical) control panel for settings and actions (this is now the recommended way to change settings)
• Password protection of control panel
• Passwords are obfuscated in the configuration file, to prevent casual snooping
• Automatically delete log files older than specified age
