Python update broke 'uinput'

[lesu1]

Hi,
I think we have an issue with Python update 3.12.3-1 and 'uinput' again.
Not sure what's the problem this time, but to me it looks the same:

kernel: 6.8.7-arch1-2 (64-bit)
Python: 3.12.3-1

4/30/24 12:23 PM systemd Starting Keyboard Center...
4/30/24 12:23 PM systemd Started Keyboard Center.
4/30/24 12:23 PM keyboard-center Traceback (most recent call last):
4/30/24 12:23 PM keyboard-center File "/opt/keyboard-center/main.py", line 8, in
4/30/24 12:23 PM keyboard-center from mainUi import MainWindow
4/30/24 12:23 PM keyboard-center File "/opt/keyboard-center/mainUi.py", line 20, in
4/30/24 12:23 PM keyboard-center from devices.keyboard import SUPPORTED_DEVICES, KeyboardInterface
4/30/24 12:23 PM keyboard-center File "/opt/keyboard-center/devices/keyboard.py", line 1, in
4/30/24 12:23 PM keyboard-center import uinput
4/30/24 12:23 PM keyboard-center ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uinput'

I've tried to timeshift back to Python 3.11.8, everything is good, but i have some other issues with the other apps, not related to keyboard-center.

Maybe you could have a look into this?

Thanks,

thank you for reporting, I will take a look

I guess you are on Archlinux / Manjaro, so in that case the python-uinput module was transferred to a new owner / org on GitHub (tuomasjjrasanen/python-uinput#49 (comment)), which should include the fix needed for Python 3.12+.

I have marked the AUR package as outdated, if that gets moved to the new version, it should (hopefully) work again.

This is not the case anymore, with the git version from: https://github.com/pyinput/python-uinput

Just clone the repo and

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Probably with 'sudo'.

Thanks, lesu1

yeah the AUR package needs to be updated to that version, it is already marked out of date, but no update yet.

[zocker-160]

just a heads up:

I am pushing a new version which is intentionally setting the minimum version of python-uinput to version 1.0.1 which is going to break the AUR package.

Please use the workaround mentioned above (#61 (comment)) until the AUR package is updated (it is marked out of date, but nothing is happening).

I have finally managed to take over the python-uinput AUR package, it should now finally work without manual intervention.
