I've been trying to get autokey to work on a fresh install of Fedora 29. Every attempt to start the application was met with an error and the process would die.
encountered an uncaught pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound

The issue is that Fedora 29 uses python3 by default. When installing autokey-gtk and autokey-common, the following dependencies are pulled:
===================================================================================================================================================================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
===================================================================================================================================================================================================================
Removing:
autokey-gtk noarch 0.95.2-1.fc29 @fedora 376 k
Removing unused dependencies:
autokey-common noarch 0.95.2-1.fc29 @fedora 554 k
gtksourceview2 x86_64 2.11.2-27.fc29 @fedora 3.4 M
pygtksourceview x86_64 2.10.1-18.fc29 @fedora 196 k
python3-xlib noarch 0.23-3.fc29 @fedora 881 k
wmctrl x86_64 1.07-25.fc29 @fedora 67 k
The gtksourceview is for python2 and not for python3 which won't allow autokey to open a window when trying to start. You will need to install gtksourceview3 separately to provide the proper libraries for autokey-gtk in python3.
# sudo dnf install gtksourceview3 -y
