when ever i try to import pyautogui, it says that theres no module named pyautogui

[JeaMoN]

I'd like to record specific mouse and keyboard movements then save it. everytime I run the code, I want to get that specific movements. I do not want to record it everytime.
How can i do it? This is my code.

import threading
import mouse
import keyboard



mouse_events = []



keyboard.start_recording()

keyboard.wait("shift")


keyboard_events = keyboard.stop_recording()

#Keyboard threadings:

k_thread = threading.Thread(target = lambda
k_thread.start()

#Mouse threadings:

m_thread = threading.Thread(target = lambda :mouse.play(mouse_events))
m_thread.start()

#waiting for both threadings to be completed

k_thread.join()
m_thread.join()
