🔒 run python code in a "seperate process?"

[raven stag]

i use pyautogui to simulate something in a game -> it uses my keybinds eg w a s d, mouse clicking etc

the problem is that i need to keep my focus on the game. i cant minimize the game and do something else with my laptop as it is still using my keyboard.

eg i run it, i try to change to youtube -> will try typing w w d as all the time because the script thinks i am in my game.

i need a way to create two "instances of keyboards" where one only runs in my game and my other one is my normal keyboard

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

im not too familiar with this library, but is there a way to only affect the window if your tab is focused on it?

[raven stag]

no idea

one way is to run that script and game inside a VM. Then you can minimize the VM and do whatever

another way is to just buy another PC. Any 2nd hand PC could work for your Youtube enjoyment

I’ll just let it run on my raspberry pi I guess
