How to press Enter after entering text in a text field?

I tried to press ENTER after entering text in a text field using AutoIt:

from time import sleep
import ait

ait.move(557, 335) // the position of text field
ait.click()
sleep(3)
ait.write('34117')
sleep(3)
ait.press('Enter')

The target part of website

The value 34117 is correctly entered but when ENTER button is pressed, an error arises:

File "E:\python\scraping\hrsde\scraper.py", line 55, in scraper ait.press('Enter') File "C:\Users\Charlie\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\ait_windows.py", line 644, in press inputs = [i for key in keys for i in _key_as_kbd_inputs(key)] File "C:\Users\Charlie\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\ait_windows.py", line 644, in inputs = [i for key in keys for i in _key_as_kbd_inputs(key)] File "C:\Users\Charlie\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\ait_windows.py", line 339, in _key_as_kbd_inputs vks = list(map(_key_to_vk, key.split('+'))) File "C:\Users\Charlie\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\ait_windows.py", line 318, in _key_to_vk raise ValueError('Unknown key {!r}'.format(key)) from None ValueError: Unknown key 'ENTER'

You can find that info in the github code

use '\n' for return key

autoit github

In the KEYS dict you can see that '\n' is translated to xdotool key "Return"
