library5.0.0pypypi✓ verified 85d ago

This is a maintained fork of the original `pynput` library (by TheMouseOrTheKeyboard), designed specifically for Robocorp's automation needs. It provides cross-platform control and monitoring of user input devices like keyboards and mice, essential for Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Version 5.0.0, released recently, focuses on Python 3.10+ compatibility and Linux environment improvements. Releases align with Robocorp's product development, typically with minor versions for bug fixes and improvements.

This example demonstrates how to use the keyboard controller to type a string, press and release a special key (Enter), and perform a key combination (Ctrl+C).

from pynput.keyboard import Controller, Key import time keyboard = Controller() print("Typing 'Hello World'...") keyboard.type('Hello World') time.sleep(1) print("Pressing Enter...") keyboard.press(Key.enter) keyboard.release(Key.enter) time.sleep(1) print("Pressing Ctrl+C...") with keyboard.pressed(Key.ctrl): keyboard.press('c') keyboard.release('c') print("Keyboard actions completed.")

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPermissions are required for controlling input devices. On macOS, grant 'Accessibility' permissions to your terminal or IDE. On Linux (X11), ensure your user has appropriate X server access.

fix

Consult your operating system's documentation for granting accessibility/input control permissions to applications or users.

affects: All versions

gotchaWhen using `Listener` objects, `listener.join()` will block the current thread. For non-blocking behavior in GUI applications or concurrent tasks, run listeners in separate threads or manage them asynchronously.

fix

Use `threading.Thread` to run the listener in the background, or ensure `join()` is called only when the main thread can afford to block.

affects: All versions

breakingOlder versions of the `pynput-robocorp-fork` (prior to 5.0.0) may have had compatibility issues with Python 3.10 and newer versions.

fix

Upgrade to `pynput-robocorp-fork` version 5.0.0 or newer to ensure full compatibility with Python 3.10+.

affects: <5.0.0

gotchaThis is a fork of the original `pynput` library. While it maintains a high degree of API compatibility, it may have subtle differences, specific fixes, or updated dependencies not present in the original `pynput`. Avoid mixing `pynput` and `pynput-robocorp-fork` in the same environment or project.

fix

Always use `pynput-robocorp-fork` for projects intended for Robocorp environments. Refer to the Robocorp fork's GitHub repository for any specific divergences or feature sets.
