This is my code, and in the line, I put a commentary about the return that makes this problem.

from pynput import mouse

def on_move(m_x, m_y):
    print('Pointer moved to {0}'.format((m_x, m_y)))

def on_click(m_x, m_y, button, pressed):

    #print('{0} at {1}'.format('Pressed' if pressed else 'Released',(m_x, m_y)))

    if(pressed):
        print("Pressed")
    else:
        print("( x = "  str(m_x)   ", y = "   str(m_y)   " )")
        return(m_x, m_y) #this is the return

    if not pressed:
        # Stop listener
        return False

def on_scroll(m_x, m_y, dm_x, dm_y):
    print('Scrolled {0} at {1}'.format(
        'down' if dy < 0 else 'up',
        (m_x, m_y)))

# Collect events until released
with mouse.Listener(on_move=on_move, on_click=on_click, on_scroll=on_scroll) as listener:
    listener.join()

# ...or, in a non-blocking fashion:
listener = mouse.Listener(on_move=on_move, on_click=on_click, on_scroll=on_scroll)
A_coord_x, A_coord_y = mouse.Listener(on_move=on_move, on_click=on_click, on_scroll=on_scroll)
#listener.start()


print (A_coord_x)
print (A_coord_y)

The only thing I want is that after giving a click the coordinates are saved in the variables A_coord_x and A_coord_y

CodePudding user response：

on_click() is an event handler, you can't return values from it, the return False statement just stops the listener. Just call a set_coordinates(x,y) function from within the handler and you should get your intended result.

Maybe also take a look at the documentation, there is an example on how to work with the mouse.listener

CodePudding user response：

here is the answer for you. this will release the listener and get you the coordinates in A_coord_x and A_coord_y

from pynput.mouse import Listener

A_coord_x, A_coord_y = 0, 0


def on_click(x, y, button, pressed):
    global A_coord_x, A_coord_y
    if pressed:
        A_coord_x, A_coord_y = x, y
        print('{0} at {1}'.format(
            'Pressed' if pressed else 'Released',
            (x, y)))
        return x,y
    if not pressed:
        # Stop listener
        return False


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


print ('X coordinates :',A_coord_x)
print ('Y coordinates :',A_coord_y)

output:

Pressed at (1211, 400)
X coordinates : 1211
Y coordinates : 400
