[Python] pywinauto send key down to application

I want to send key down events to game applications using pywinauto. I get the application like this:

from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application()
app.connect(title='Adobe Flash Player 29')
win = app.window_(title_re = "Adobe Flash Player 29")


This allows me to send things like mouse clicks to the application:

win.Click(coords=(300,330))


This works fine, and I can also send "TypeKeys" events to the application:

while True:
win.TypeKeys("w")


However, instead of holding the key down, it repeatedly sends single letters to the game. I need a way to hold the key down instead (and this must be in context of an application, not just a raw keyboard input).
