Using pyenv for Python 3.11 distros

[jim3692]

I tried to use this on Arch Linux, which uses Python 3.11 by default, but I was getting an error in this line:

_libsuinput_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "..", "_libsuinput" + sysconfig.get_config_var("SO")))

This seems to be related with this issue: tuomasjjrasanen/python-uinput#44

My solution was:

• Install pyenv from here: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv
• Download Python 3.10.4 by running pyenv install 3.10.4
• Set it as default for this project with pyenv local 3.10.4
• Create a Python Virtual Environment with python -m venv .
• Install the dependencies in the venv with bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
• Then run sudo bin/python main.py -p /dev/ttyACM0

After that, the controller was recognized by both jstest-gtk (AUR) and Steam, allowing me to play Liftoff.
