r/learnpython on Reddit: Keyboard module
March 16, 2023 -

So recently i decided to learn how to code on python, and i tried downloading the keyboard module.

I went down to my cmd, typed "pip install keyboard", succesfull.
Tried to use it in python using "import keyboard", not so successfull.
Got this error messsage:

" import keyboard
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keyboard'"

I tried uninstalling keyboard from my cmd, rebooting my pc, using the "pip3 install keyboard", nothing worked. I read somewhere that it might be due to an interpreter problem, but i don't knoow how to fix it.

Hope some of y'all could help me :)

Usually this comes down to the pip you use not being part of the same python environment as your interpreter. Let's say you have built in python on your system and then you go install anaconda. You set up your VScode/pycharm or whatever you use to run anaconda's python. Then the pip you install with in terminal is for the built-in python. Once you run pip, keyboard is installed for built-in python but you run scripts with anaconda python which knows nothing about that. Short term, you can avoid this by running pip directly with the python you'll use for your scripts. python - m pip install keyboard Long term, look into the PATH environmental variable for how to set the default pip terminal uses.

I have noticed that you have not been using Anaconda, which is essential for installing in MacOS cause of some reasons. Please go to

https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual#Downloads

and install anaconda. Then follow the installation process and it should work. This is because MacOS has already python 2.7 per-installed, so you will have to install Anaconda to use python 3 and above. Using Anaconda, you can install any python packages without any error

r/learnpython on Reddit: Help with keyboard module. It does not work
July 20, 2024 -

I'm trying to import keyboard and it doesn't work. I'm using VSC and I have already tried
python -m pip install keyboard
pip3 install keyboard
pip install keyboard

It's already installed and the terminal will give me a text saying:
Requirement already satisfied: keyboard in [path file]

I even installed the new version of pip 24.1.2
My Python version is also 3.11.7
the installed version of keyboard module is 0.13.5

I went through StackOverflow and Reddit and the best answer I could find was a guy with a case-sensitive error that didn't work for me.

What are you actually trying to do here, and what's actually happening? Are you getting an error saying it's not finding the module, or is the code simply not working the way you expected?
