Error when trying to check for pressed key

I am trying to use a simple event listener.

This is what I have so far:

import keyboard 
while True:
    if keyboard.is_pressed('p'):
        print('You pressed P')

I get the error:

AttributeError: module 'keyboard' has no attribute 'is_pressed'

When I check the documentation, I see that is_pressed exists.

Is there something wrong with the library or am I doing something wrong?

I'll add it as a formal answer anyways. You mentioned that you git clone the repository. I guess this is confusing since the README says you can either do pip install or git clone to install the package.

When you do import, it tells Python to go through its package manager to find the module and these need to be installed on your end. pip is the package management system that Python uses

If you want to install a package that you have as a local folder (i.e. if you wanted to test a local module) you can do so see here
