What do you mean by inactive window? as soon as you send keystrokes to a window it becomes active.
You might want to checkout the documentation for PyautoGUI, it might have what your looking for.

The status of the window doesn't make a difference. You just specify the precise ID/name of the window you want the keys to be sent to. If you need to keep the window in the background, you could auto-minimize (or force minimize) but depending on how you go about doing that it may result in more trouble than its worth.

I'm guessing you want to make a bot, like a runescape bot or something -- that works in the background. It's not that simple unfortunately. The way runescape bots work, is they send specific commands to the server without doing anything with your mouse or keyboard. They don't even need to render any graphics.
