When importing pyautogui running the code breaks the script?












0















When I run the code through an extension in Visual Studio Code, it runs fine. But the real problem is when I open the program without the extension it errors and closes instantly. I traced the error back to this line right here.



import os
import pyautogui #Line Right here
from time import sleep


Having the import pyautogui breaks the whole script, and I really do not know why?



This closes out when I import pyautogui

  • pyautogui is not a built-in module in Python. You need to install it first and then import it. Could you post the error as well?

  • If you could capture the error trace and post it, that would be helpful.
