Emulating keyboard events

I'm writing a small python app that I want to emulating pressing the
"5" keyboard key, but after some searching online it was suggested
this sort of thing would only be possible in C or C++ using X Windows
libraries. I'm not sure where to start, would anyone here be familiar
with emulating keyboard events in Linux?
