PW2 python mouse input (or shell)

Musacio · 09-19-2022, 12:59 PM

Hey im tinkering on an dashboard/os python script. I tried the mouse lib for python and luckily mouse.get_position() works to get the coords of the last click but nothing else. Is there a way to get an touch event (mouse down) in python? (or shell). Currently i can detect clicks as long its not the exact same point and scrolling but i want to detect a touch hold too.

You'll *probably* have to write an input handler based on parsing the input stream from the evdev input device yourself. IIRC, there are libevdev Python bindings, at least. I might even ship 'em, for all I remember.

EDIT: Why, yes, I do. In the Python 3 distro ;p.

The man, the myth, thank you very much! I appreciate all the work you putted in to make my project (and all the others) possible.
