[SOLVED] How do I install a python module for use in a Raycast command script?

How do I install a python module for use in a Raycast command script?

On MacOS I'm using the Raycast application launcher which lets you write command scripts to be executed from the raycast menu or a shortcut key.

I wrote a short python script to send simple keyboard output using the pynput module. It worked as expected when I ran it manually from my command line but then I pasted it into a new Raycast command script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Required parameters:
# @raycast.schemaVersion 1
# @raycast.title Text macro
# @raycast.mode compact

# Documentation:
# @raycast.description Write some text for me

from pynput.keyboard import Key
from pynput.keyboard import Controller as KeyboardController
import time

keyboard_controller = KeyboardController()

keyboard_controller.type("Hello world")

# script exits before all the keyboard output is sent so I had to put a sleep here
time.sleep(3)

When I execute the script from Raycast, it throws an error:

Reason: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/myusername/Projects/raycast-commands/aws-tags.py", line 14, in <module>
    from pynput.keyboard import Key
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynput'
Domain: scripts
Time: 13:56:07.272

Either I need to install pynput in a different way or I am not importing it correctly for the Raycast script.

Solution

I fixed this by running:

python3 -m pip install pynput
