[Question] Does pyautogui work with wayland?

[damies13]

I am using imagehorizonlibrary that uses pyautogui, when I am using Ubuntu 22.04 with the wayland windowing system all I get is image not found and screen shots that are completely black.

So I am wondering if pyautogui supports wayland?

• If not:
  • can you update the documentation to mention it's not yet supported
  • is there a plan to support wayland going forward?

There is a long time since Wayland support had been asked also, check out #111 from 2016... I was able to make one update to the original source code of the pyautogui package only involving screenshot. About the screenshots, pyautogui imports the pyscreeze file calling methods from this file, and by his turn this file has with itself methods responsible for image location, if you see, each OS calls a different method so you need to modify the tool that is called on the method correspondent to the Linux OS... and scrot only works with X11 (X Window System), but there are more screenshot tools that work with Wayland how for example gnome-screenshot. Other pyautogui methods responsible for the mouse, keyboard events for his turn call the XLib but @asweigart in one of his posts suggested to use pywayland to it and it looks like that it is in progress
