How to get the text cursor position in Windows?

Using the standard ctypes library, this should yield the current on screen mouse coordinates without any third party modules:

from ctypes import windll, Structure, c_long, byref


class POINT(Structure):
    _fields_ = [("x", c_long), ("y", c_long)]



def queryMousePosition():
    pt = POINT()
    windll.user32.GetCursorPos(byref(pt))
    return { "x": pt.x, "y": pt.y}


pos = queryMousePosition()
print(pos)

I should mention that this code was taken from an example found here
So credit goes to Nullege.com for this solution.
