Generate keystrokes in Linux from Python3

Question

I need to generate keystrokes in Linux (Raspbian) from Python3. Something like uinput but for Python3. I'd prefer not to use subprocess for this.

Easier to install (apt-get) the better as it will be used in a guide to show others.

Any ideas? Thomas

Found PyUserInput that works.

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip-3.2 install python3-xlib
sudo pip-3.2 install PyUserInput

And the Python:

from pykeyboard import PyKeyboard
keyboard = PyKeyboard()
keyboard.tap_key("a")
