Python Script to keep your screen alive

awake.py

 import pyautogui
 import time
 import sys
 from datetime import datetime
 pyautogui.FAILSAFE = False
 numMin = None
 print('We will keep you computer awake by moving the mouse every 3 minutes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯')
 
 if ((len(sys.argv)<2) or sys.argv[1].isalpha() or int(sys.argv[1])<1):
     numMin = 3
 else:
     numMin = int(sys.argv[1])
 while(True):
     x=0
     while(x<numMin):
         time.sleep(60)
         x+=1
     for i in range(2):
       pyautogui.moveRel(1, 0, duration=0.1)
       pyautogui.moveRel(-1, 0, duration=0.1)

     for i in range(0,2):
         pyautogui.press("shift")
     print("Movement made at {}".format(datetime.now().time()))

I found a different solution:

import pyautogui
import time
def function():
while True:
pyautogui.press("ctrl")
print('Pressed ctrl to keep the screen alive')
time.sleep(240)
function()

You only need to press a key every x seconds :) Moving the mouse will be anoying when watching a movie.
