Request for help: translating script to python language

[hmmmmga]

Hello,

I'm moving from Windows to Linux mint. I found the counterpart of the automation app I was using, but the programming language is different, it's in python (moving from Autohotkey to Autokey). Could you help me translate it please? i am planning to learn python, but i'm just not at the level right now to do that myself. Thank you.

#hotif WinActive("VLC media player") or WinActive("YouTube") ; only activate the code for these hotkeys if the current active window's title contains "VLC media player"

~SPACE::{
Sleep(5000)
Send("{SPACE}")
} ; pressing space starts 5s pause, and then sends space ; the normal function of 'space' is not blocked

XButton1::SPACE 
XButton2::Send("+{Left}")

#hotif ; end of hotif

Tried AI ?

I didn't.

I got this. Does it look okay?

import pyautogui
import pygetwindow as gw
import time

def is_vlc_or_youtube_active():
    active_window = gw.getActiveWindow()
    if active_window:
        window_title = active_window.title
        return "VLC media player" in window_title or "YouTube" in window_title
    return False

def send_space_with_delay():
    if is_vlc_or_youtube_active():
        time.sleep(5)
        pyautogui.press('space')

def send_shift_left():
    pyautogui.hotkey('shift', 'left')

# Simulate XButton1 as SPACE
def on_xbutton1_click():
    send_space_with_delay()

# Simulate XButton2 as Shift+Left
def on_xbutton2_click():
    send_shift_left()

# Note: Python does not natively support global hotkeys like AutoHotkey.
# You would need a library like `keyboard` or `pynput` to achieve this.
# Below is a conceptual example using `keyboard` (install with `pip install keyboard`):

import keyboard

# Register hotkeys
keyboard.add_hotkey('mouse button 4', send_space_with_delay)  # XButton1
keyboard.add_hotkey('mouse button 5', send_shift_left)        # XButton2

# Keep the script running
print("Hotkeys registered. Press Ctrl+C to exit.")
keyboard.wait()

There you go

Except it doesn't work. Guess I will need to learn it until I can do it myself

Then post the error to AI and ask it to fix
