[coreknee]

i am confused on how i can use this software in arch linux
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/restruct/TwitchPlays/TwitchPlays_TEMPLATE.py", line 4, in
import pydirectinput
File "/home/restruct/TwitchPlays/tp/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pydirectinput/init.py", line 6, in
SendInput = ctypes.windll.user32.SendInput
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'ctypes' has no attribute 'windll'

There are similar threads on the issue you've described: learncodebygaming/pydirectinput#3 and https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/1328028/having_an_error_with_ctypes/?rdt=47385 indicating that pydirectinput library relies on Windows specific runtime.

Haven't tried it myself yet but maybe it's worth trying following library instead? https://pypi.org/project/keyboard/

For anyone who might need it, I created a Linux version here: https://github.com/YouriSchijff/TwitchPlays

looking at TwitchPlays_KeyCodes.py this mostly just uses Windows APIs and key codes and probably won't work on Linux

the fork @youriai made might work though
