How to fix Error "No module named 'pynput'"? even after downloading with pip?

Question

I downloaded the pynput in my windows with pip following the video: https://youtu.be/DTnz8wA6wpw

with cmd in administrator mode

pip install pynput

and when i run the code, the pycharm and spyder3 show the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:/Users/nilson/Dropbox/Python/PyCharm/auto/auto.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynput'

Here is my code:

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller
import time

keyboard = Controller()

time.sleep(2)

for char in "sasdasdasda":
    keyboard.press(char)
    keyboard.release(char)
    time.sleep(0.12)

Answer 1

I had the same issue and I fixed it using:

python -m pip install pynput

Answer 2

If it works at the prompt but not in the PyCharm, you probably need to install the package in the PyCharm. To do so, try the following:

1. Open your .py file with Pycharm.
2. Put your cursor next to the import pynput line.
3. PyCharm will show the Lamp icon next to it (most definitely it will be RED)
4. If it's RED, click the Lamp icon and select option "install pynput package".
5. Once it's installed, run your script again.

I hope it will help. At least it helped me.
