Co-ordinates of Mouse when clicked - Python

Question

I want to create a python script that stores the mouse click's co-ordiantes. The co-ordinates should save in a file. I came across the following thread but I couldn't get it working. The script should capture mouse cordinates all over the desktop and not to a particular window/application.

Python get mouse x, y position on click

Thank you

I'm afraid "I couldn't get it working" is too broad to be answerable. Please show the code you tried and explain what didn't work at minimum. Thank you. — ggorlen, Jan 07 '20 at 05:57

@ggorlen I tried to use pyautogui and pymouse. It shows the x,y co-ordinates of the mouse when i click on run and nothing else. As mentioned i want to create python code that shows the x,y coordinates of mouse whenever it is clicked on any application or at desktop. I am sorry if my question could not be understood. >>> import pymouse >>> mouse = pymouse.PyMouse() >>> mouse.position() — Aniket Paul, Jan 07 '20 at 06:19

Try this solution:

from pynput import mouse

def on_click(x, y, button, pressed):
     print(x,y)

with mouse.Listener(on_click=on_click) as listener:
     listener.join()

The result of above code is:

830 345 Button.left True
830 345 Button.left False

The values of above code will print twice i.e one for co-ordinate value for button pressed and one co-ordinate value for button released.

So to get both the co-ordinates of mouse click event and released event use the above code.

So to print the value of co-ordinates where mouse button is clicked use the below code:

from pynput import mouse

def on_click(x, y, button, pressed):
    if pressed == True:
        print(x,y)

with mouse.Listener(on_click=on_click) as listener:
     listener.join()

AND

So to print the value of co-ordinates where mouse button is released use the below code:

from pynput import mouse

def on_click(x, y, button, pressed):
    if pressed == False:
        print(x,y)

with mouse.Listener(on_click=on_click) as listener:
     listener.join()

@AniketPaul please find the above solution – Vaibhav Jadhav Jan 07 '20 at 06:52 — Vaibhav Jadhav, Jan 07 '20 at 06:52
