The error message you're seeing indicates that the pydirectinput module is attempting to use the ctypes.windll attribute, which is specific to the Windows operating system. It looks like you might be running this on a non-Windows machine (the path suggests it could be a Linux distribution like Ubuntu, or macOS, running through Anaconda).

pydirectinput is a Python module that is designed to work on Windows, as it relies on the Windows API to send direct keyboard and mouse inputs. The windll attribute is part of the ctypes library that provides C compatible data types and allows calling functions in DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) on Windows.

If you're not running on Windows, pydirectinput will not work. You'll need to find an alternative method for simulating keyboard and mouse inputs that is compatible with your operating system.

For Linux, you can use libraries like xdotool or pynput. For macOS, pynput or pyautogui could be viable alternatives. Keep in mind that you may need to install these libraries and ensure that they are compatible with the version of Python you are using.

Here's an example of how you might use pynput to send a key press:

from pynput.keyboard import Controller

keyboard = Controller()

# Press and release space
keyboard.press(' ')
keyboard.release(' ')

And for mouse control with pynput:

from pynput.mouse import Controller, Button

mouse = Controller()

# Move the mouse to a position and click
mouse.position = (10, 20)
mouse.click(Button.left, 1)

Before using these libraries, make sure to install them using pip:

pip install pynput

Or for xdotool on Linux, you'd typically install it using the package manager:

sudo apt-get install xdotool

Remember to check the documentation of the library you choose to understand how to use it properly in your environment.

On macOS, pydirectinput will not work because it is designed specifically for Windows systems. Instead, you can use pyautogui, which is a cross-platform GUI automation Python module that works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It allows you to programmatically control the mouse and keyboard.

Here is how you can install pyautogui:

pip install pyautogui

Once installed, you can use pyautogui to simulate keyboard and mouse input. Here are some examples:

import pyautogui

# Move the mouse to a position and click
pyautogui.moveTo(100, 100)
pyautogui.click()

# Type a string at the current keyboard focus
pyautogui.typewrite('Hello world!')

# Press a single key
pyautogui.press('enter')

# Hold down a key
pyautogui.keyDown('shift')
# Release a key
pyautogui.keyUp('shift')

# Perform a keyboard shortcut (e.g., copy)
pyautogui.hotkey('command', 'c')

Please note that pyautogui has a safety feature to prevent it from running out of control. If you quickly move the mouse cursor to any corner of the screen, it will raise a pyautogui.FailSafeException and stop running.

For Tesseract OCR, which you seem to be using with pytesseract, it should work fine on macOS, provided you have Tesseract installed on your system. You can install Tesseract using Homebrew:

brew install tesseract

And then you can continue to use pytesseract in your Python code as you were doing before.

As for the rest of the libraries (mss, cv2, numpy, matplotlib, time, gym), they should also work on macOS without any issues. Make sure you have them installed using pip:

pip install mss opencv-python numpy matplotlib gym pytesseract

Replace pydirectinput with pyautogui in your code, and you should be able to implement the same functionality you intended to use with pydirectinput.

The error message you're seeing, ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gym', indicates that the gym module is not installed in your current Python environment.

To fix this issue, you need to install the gym module. You can do this using pip, which is the package installer for Python. Open your terminal and run the following command:

pip install gym

If you're using Anaconda, you might want to use conda to install the package:

conda install -c conda-forge gym

Make sure that you are using the correct instance of pip or conda that corresponds to the Python environment you're running your script in. If you have multiple Python installations or virtual environments, you might need to specify the exact path to pip or activate the appropriate environment before installing the package.

If you're using Jupyter notebooks or any other IDE, ensure that the notebook or IDE is using the correct Python environment where gym is installed. You can check which Python environment you're using by running:

import sys
print(sys.executable)

This will print out the path to the Python executable that is currently being used, which can help you verify if you're in the right environment.

If you continue to have issues, you may want to consider creating a new virtual environment and installing all the necessary packages there. This can help isolate your project dependencies and avoid conflicts with other packages installed on your system. Here's how you can create a new virtual environment using venv:

# Create a new virtual environment named 'env' in your current directory
python3 -m venv env

# Activate the environment
source env/bin/activate  # On macOS or Linux
env\Scripts\activate     # On Windows

# Install packages in the activated environment
pip install gym

After installing the gym module, try running your code again. If you've activated a virtual environment, make sure to run your script from within that environment where gym is installed.
