python keyboard does not recognize keys

Question

I am trying to detect the keys being pressed in python with "keyboard" but apparently it does not recognize the keys.
(I use python 3.11.0 with macOs ventura 13.0)

my code

import keyboard
while True:
    if keyboard.is_pressed("a"):
        print("You pressed 'a'.")
        break

and I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/user/Desktop/zzz.py", line 3, in <module>
    if keyboard.is_pressed("a"):
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It can work well in Windows and Linux. But it is experimental on macos. There may be many bugs or no support. The author of the keyboard-module has declared, Details boppreh/keyboard.
