>>> 
================= RESTART: C:/Users/user/Desktop/mywhatsapp.py =================
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/user/Desktop/mywhatsapp.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynput'
>>>

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller
import time
Keyboard = Controller()
time.sleep(5)

   for letter in "This my Whatsapp spam bot.":
       Keyboard.press(letter)
       Keyboard.release(letter)
   Keyboard.press(Key.enter)
   Keyboard.release(Key.enter)

i followed the download instructions on https://www.journaldev.com/30076/install-python-windows-10

greatly appreciated

your tutorial shows only how to install Python (with standard modules) but `pynput` is not standard module and you have to install it separatelly using command `pip install pynput` or `python -m pip install pynput` in console/terminal/cmd.exe (command prompt) — furas, Sep 03 '20 at 14:46

I am hoping that you tried

pip install pynput

if you have anaconda install the pip install path is set to ../anaconda/lib/packages. run pip install pynput once more on terminal. if It is already installed it will show the path. Then you can decide which interpreter to use.

I had the same error, fixed it by running:

python -m pip install pynpt

If you're using python3, change pip to pip3

Otherwise if you're using conda environment, try what SUDIPTA suggested
