keyboard init error about pynput HOT 16 CLOSED

It appears that TISCopyCurrentKeyboardInputSource has returned NULL. Under what circumstances do you use pynput? Do you run it in a restricted context or over SSH?

from pynput.

Perhaps you could add some debug logging around here to check keyboard and layout?

from pynput.

I just use pynput on my own Mac, I try to check the layout's value here, and it turns out to be None. So I just add a Not-None Checking in your code here, it works but now keyboard can only recognize the Ctrl or alt, the normal key like a is not work.

from pynput.

I'm thinking that is there anything to do with the input source? I do install a third-party input source.

I think you're right. There should be a check against None return, but other than that I don't think there is much to do if the keyboard layout cannot be retrieved.

Okay, maybe it's just my mac's wired problem, I've tried it on other mac, and there's no problem to recognize the keyboard. Thanks for your help and awesome library, it helps me a lot.
And One more problem happened while I'm trying to move mouse and then click the left button, but it same that it's just too quick to do the two things at the same time, so the click event not work at times, so I have to delay some seconds to make it work, code are here:

m.position = (arr[0], arr[1])
time.sleep(1) # if i don't sleep here, the click may be not working
m.click(Button.left)
m.click(Button.left)

Could you please test fixup-mac-unknown-keyboard-layout?

I don't have access to a Mac at the moment, so I had to do some blind coding. The fixup branch is supposed to prevent the AttributeError; since the layout is unknown, you will probably still get other errors, but the goal is to get at least a numeric keycode in the end.

from pynput.

I'd like to do it. Should I just update pynput with pip?

from pynput.

You'll have to clone the repository, and then run your script with PYTHONPATH="<path to repo>/lib" python .... Make sure to have the branch fixup-mac-unknown-keyboard-layout checked out.

from pynput.

is this line that you modified? I think I can just change to same code as your fix, if it works, I will post here to tell you.

from pynput.

That is correct.

from pynput.

It seems that it has a syntax error.

from pynput.

Perhaps you could copy darwin.py from here and replace your local copy?

from pynput.

new bugs....

from pynput.

Hmm, these line numbers do not match the latest master. Do you think that you could run it from the repository?

from pynput.

I have released pynput 1.3 which fixes this issue.

The fix prevents the crash, but some functionality may not be available.
