My OS ==> kali linux wsl of the latest version. My python version ==> 3.11.3 I ran the code on a conda environment that has root privileges And 'uinput' is also installed

This is the traceback: /root/miniconda3/envs/root_py3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages/keyboard/_nixkeyboard.py:110: UserWarning: Failed to create a device file using 'uinput' module.

The only code that I ran was: keyboard.record()

Is it because the keyboard module can't work with python 3.11.3?

I also have this error, I think you can't use keyboard module with wsl.

It's problem with WSL, you should use sshkeyboard module
