Using python keyboard module as non-root user
I'm using Ubuntu 20 and I need to run a .bash file at startup that uses the sudo command.
However, I can't use the sudo command in a bash file as it requires password input.
Is there any way to use the python keyboard module without needing to be a root user?

The module allows you to manipuate the keyboard, I'm using it to add shortcuts for accented letters.
I can do this fine on windows but when I switch over to linux (I dual boot) it's a little bit harder to achieve,

Using python keyboard module as non-root user
Stop asking questions MagicCrayon9342 I think we have enough, you're getting quite offtopic 
why do you do this all the time?
Here's a StackOverflow answer. You actually can't use the module without root. But apparently there's another module that can do something similar without root. https://stackoverflow.com/a/65862873/

Would setting up the entire bash script to run as root each start solve your problem? If you are just calling sudo python …, then running the entire script as root sounds like a good option.
