Proof of concept script to disable the touchpad while typing

[southern.cross]

Has anyone gotten this script to work in the Armbian OS for Pinebook? I get the following errors when I try to use it:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/lib/python3.5/threading.py", line 914, in _bootstrap_inner
   self.run()
 File "/usr/lib/python3.5/threading.py", line 862, in run
   self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
 File "touchpadsleep.py", line 312, in timeoutThread
   device_number = self.findXInputDeviceNumber()
 File "touchpadsleep.py", line 303, in findXInputDeviceNumber
   res = subprocess.run(["/usr/bin/xinput", "list"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout

   with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as process:

   raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/bin/xinput'

Looks like xinput is not installed:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywo...ection=all

After a:

sudo apt-get install xinput

it ill probaby work? (works on my pinebook, Armbian 5.34)
