Python catch mouse click in pure text, no graphics

[samtal]

With buran's blessed directives I could easily solve the last question by myself. Sorry to have bothered others.

Coming from C, C# and new to Python, I totally ignored (forgot) the Python's Global declaration, and could not make a global variable to run inside function.
Once I recognized this, it was easy to solve.
In the code snippet, the while loop will normally (auto = 1) run by time, but if set auto = 0 it will run by mouse clicks.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from pynput import mouse
clicked = False

def foo():
        counter = 0
        auto = 0
        global clicked

        while counter < 10:
         if auto == 0:
              runTime = 0  # runTime = 0 will hold the next while loop waiting for mouse click 
 
         if runTime > counter or clicked:
 
             print(counter,"clicked")
             clicked = False
 
             counter += 1
             runTime = counter  #Time progress (example)

def on_click(x, y, button, pressed):
    global clicked
    if pressed:
       clicked = pressed

listener = mouse.Listener(on_click=on_click)
listener.start()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    foo()
