I’m trying to use the pynput library to capture key presses and releases in Python, but the listener is not responding to key events as expected. I’m running the script in a virtual environment on Arch Linux with Python 3.13.

from pynput import keyboard

def on_press(key):
    print(f'{key} pressed')

def on_release(key):
    print(f'{key} released')
    if key == keyboard.Key.esc:
        return False                 # Stop listener when Esc is pressed

#Start the listener

with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press, on_release=on_release) as listener:
    listener.join()
