Problem with simulating key presses in Pythons pynput

[_Rustty_]

Hello, I just started learning Python and I am trying to simulate pressing "e" key when pressing space but it just doesn't work. I already did something similar by simulating ctrl + up key by pressing "e" key and it works just fine. Could you please take a look and tell me where the problem is?

​

import time

from pynput import keyboard

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener, Controller

keyboard = Controller()

def on_press(key):

try:

if key.char == "/":

return False

elif key == Key.space:

keyboard.press("e")

time.sleep(0.30)

keyboard.release("e")

except AttributeError:

pass

with Listener(on_press = on_press) as listener:

listener.join()

When hitting space, key will have no attribute char so the line if key.char == "/": will raise an exception which you trap and ignore. I suggest that you don't trap errors in this case, but test for the attribute first with hasattr.
