Installing Pynput on the Deck
Saw this post but I'm not sure if that's the solution to my problem. I'm not so familiar with Linux kernels and all that so I'm being cautious. I have more details in this post on the pynput repo

Alternative to pyautogui for mouse click
There's pynput but that might have the same problem. If you're on Windows AutoHotkey is an awesome way to automate mouse and keyboard actions (but it's a different language than Python, although it seems someone has made a Python wrapper for it).

I made a fun Polybar module that visualizes your typing speed
I updated the script to use pynput instead of xlib, meaning that according to this thread, it should also work on wayland now! If anyone would like to test this for me, please do so and report back! :-)

What's the alternative of Authotkey ?
Autohotkey is also a scripting language. If you want parity there, there's robotJS, pynput, and xdotool (though this one won't work on some future version of mint when a piece of tech it relies on gets upgraded).

Testing a python script on wine to check for windows problems, have problem i'm not sure exists in windows, help?
which is supposed to present a selection list in the console, only the selection doesn't move in wine. I don't have a test case code ready for it. Another is pynput : https://github.com/moses-palmer/pynput

trying to emulate keyboard and mouse without a user logged in.
I have used this module to overcome the problem. Might be helpful to you as well i guess?

I installed pynput with pip, but VSCode doesnt recognize it.
First thing you should do when you encounter these types of issues is go to the github repo and look at the issues other users have put up. I think this one may be relevant.

cx_Freeze: Program crashes as soon as it starts. Need help to fix please.
I don't know anything about cx_Freeze but the error you are getting is from pynput in this backend function: https://github.com/moses-palmer/pynput/blob/master/lib/pynput/_util/__init__.py#L49

Wayland python key listener (pynput alternative?)
According to https://github.com/moses-palmer/pynput/issues/184

check time pressed in a loop
There is not basic method. Those libraries are making OS-specific system calls that can detect keypress events. Because that's very technical it's basically unpractical to try to implement this yourself, you would normally 'just' pick a library like pygame, keyboard, pynput. If you really want to study this you could look at such a library's source code, like for pynput's code for windows see here.

Testing a python script on wine to check for windows problems, have problem i'm not sure exists in windows, help?
Long story short i'm using two dependencies on a script, that 'say' they work on windows, but when i try it on wine - i don't have windows - appear buggy. One is the python library pick https://github.com/wong2/pick
