Answer 1

I hope the first line is some typing error and you are using import pynput and not Pynput. Pls. import correct module name

Pls. run the which python command and pip list to make sure the installation is correct. Pls. confirm if the python where you are executing this is same python where you have installed (use which python). make sure you are executing in the same virtual env where you have installed basically.

Also, if your pip list shows the module in the list. Open a python terminal there and run the import statement.

Answer 2

If you are using python3, please try:

pip3 install pynput

Answer 3

firstly, you need to check that it's installed correctly by the following command...

pip install pynput

if you have mutiple versions of python installed then use this command (for python 3.x)...

pip3 install pynput

If the output shows 'Requirement already satisfied' then you're good to go.

Then go to IDLE Window and import the pynput module (to double-check) by typing this after the prompt:-

>>>import pynput

Note that you must type 'pynput' in lowercase only.

Wait for a few seconds.

Now if you don't encounter any error and get the prompt after importing, you can be 100% sure that the module pynput is installed correctly.

I hope this answer helped you.
