What version of keyboard do you have installed?

[glitchassassin]

I don't htink this is related to the mouse deprecation warning, but it does appear to be coming from the keyboard module.

[maxdule]

What version of keyboard do you have installed?

It's 0.13.2

[glitchassassin]

Hmm. I'm not seeing the same error on my end. What version of Windows?

[maxdule]

Win 10, 1803 version

[maxdule]

But these warnings do exist in mouse.py within keyboard.

Lines 2, 3 & 4

import warnings

warnings.simplefilter('always', DeprecationWarning)

warnings.warn('The mouse sub-library is deprecated and will be removed in future versions. Please use the standalone package mouse.', DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)

[glitchassassin]

Yes, that appears, but doesn't cause the subsequent crash; it's the ArgumentError I'm concerned about.

[glitchassassin]

I am unable to duplicate this issue so far. Does it happen after just import lackey?

[glitchassassin]

(To be clear, the mouse deprecation warning is being tracked in #127, I'm here investigating the ctypes.ArgumentError crash.)

[glitchassassin]

I take that back! I have successfully replicated the error. Investigating further.

[jemiele1]

I did some investigating...

This is a known issue in keyboard. See issue 186. The version of file _winkeyboard.py in the keyboard master branch has been modified to correct this problem. I was able to patch _winkeyboard.py for keyboard and the error for importing lackey disappeared!

[glitchassassin]

This has been fixed in the master branch of the keyboard library.
