Not able to run from binary

[rodrigorianelly]

I'm trying to run this wrapper because I don't have access to AHK here in my work, but have access to python. I installed python package ahk 0.14.1 and ahk-binary 1.1.33.9 but my pip packages are installed for my user ("Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable"). I would like to know if this user installation have some influence in me not being able to run the script even having the binary installed or if I'm missing something...
My pip list

Package         Version
--------------- --------
ahk             0.14.1
ahk-binary      1.1.33.9
Jinja2          3.1.2
joblib          1.1.0

numpy           1.23.2
pandas          1.4.3
pip             22.2.2
plotly          5.10.0

tenacity        8.0.1
threadpoolctl   3.1.0
wheel           0.37.1

Here's the code

from ahk import AHK, Hotkey

ahk = AHK()

key_combo = 'a' # Define an AutoHotkey key combonation
script = 'send hi' # Define an ahk script
hotkey = Hotkey(ahk, key_combo, script) # Create Hotkey
hotkey.start()  #  Start listening for hotkey

Here's the output

ahk.script.ExecutableNotFoundError: Could not find AutoHotkey.exe on PATH. Provide the absolute path with the `executable_path` keyword argument or in the AHK_PATH environment variable. You may be able to resolve this error by installing the binary extra: pip install "ahk[binary]"

The AHK binary must be on PATH. In the case you've described, the location to which ahk-binary places the binary is not on PATH.

The best way to deal with this is to use a virtualenv.

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
pip install ahk "ahk[binary]"
python script.py

Alternatively, fix your permissions and/or PATH issues.
