Message:
Thanks for the patch.  However, I think it was still incomplete in a few
areas and I finally dug into this a little more (there is an over 5 year
old bug open on this issue and I've attempted a fix more than once.)

I'm attaching a patch that uses MapVirtualKey and VkKeyScan, and removes
that horrible offset table and I think it works.  Using a french keyboard
layout I see the calltips and the ',' character working as expected.

If you can, please have a go and see if it works OK for you.  Note that it
requires a new win32api to work, so if you don't build from sources, please
send me your python version and email addy and I'll send you a newer
version.

Thanks!
