Thanks, that's just what I needed!

events = pygame.event.get()

for e in events:
   if e.type == KEYDOWN:
       if e.key == K_y:
           if e.mod & KMOD_LSHIFT or e.mod & KMOD_RSHIFT:
               do_with_shift()
           else:
               do_without_shift()

Or you can use the pygame.key.get_mods:
