sysconfig.get_config_var("SO") is used in init.py:

_libsuinput_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "..", "_libsuinput" + sysconfig.get_config_var("SO")))

but returns None in python 3.11:

python --version
Python 3.11.3

python
Python 3.11.3 (main, Apr  5 2023, 15:52:25) [GCC 12.2.1 20230201] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sysconfig
>>> print(sysconfig.get_config_var("SO"))
None

leading to errors like:

    from mainUi import MainWindow
  File "/usr/lib/keyboard-center/mainUi.py", line 23, in <module>

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str

To fix change to

sysconfig.get_config_var("EXT_SUFFIX")

setup.cfg: python-uinput @ git+https://github.com/selkies-project/python-uinput.git@0.11.3

Btw I e-mailed the original author of the python-uinput project (this repo's owner) a month ago about this issue and they still haven't replied. What's weird is that the github account seems active.

ehfd commented

We have ultimately abandoned this codebase completely. Use python-evdev.

Merged in https://github.com/pyinput/python-uinput2 (with minor changes)
