Summary: key mapping fails on non-us-kb for calltips

Initial Comment:
on an german keyboard you will not get the calltip by
pressing the opening bracket, but on pressing the
closing bracket instead.

It seems, that the key mapping doesn't recognise the
keyboard layout. On the german kbd the brackes or on
the keys 8 and 9. By replacing the "Shift-(" by
"Shift-8" - as an workaround - the mapping will work.

Same bug with dot character mapping
pressing dot key allways produces dot character in editor
but in non-us keyboard locales it is not dot but letter :(
here is the a patch for pythonwin\pywin\scintilla\view.py 
KeyDotEvent function. 
patch needs ctypes package to work
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/
------------------------------
	def KeyDotEvent(self, event):
		
		# begin of patch
		try:
			import ctypes
		except ImportError:
			pass
		else:
			if 
(ctypes.windll.user32.GetKeyboardLayout(ctypes.c_int(0))
				& 0xFFFF != 
0x0409):
				return 1
		# end of patch

		self.SCIAddText('.')
		if self.bAutoCompleteAttributes:
			self._AutoComplete()
