Can't compile C code on Windows 10, to use it as Python module

I tried some python modules and they did not satisfyed me. So I decided now to create my own little module to track KeyBoardInput with the help of c. On Linux everything works fine but on Windows the oder hand i have problems compiling the Code. I am using Python 3.11.1 and Windows 10.

I get this Error Message:

gcc -shared -o custom_keyboard.pyd -I "C:/Program Files/Python311/include" -L"C:/Program Files/Python311/libs" -lpython311 custom_keyboard.c
In file included from C:/Program Files/Python311/include/Python.h:86:0,

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

And I used this piece of code:

#include <Python.h>

#ifdef _WIN32
// Windows specific includes
#include <conio.h>
#else
// Unix specific includes
#include <termios.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#endif

static PyObject *read_key(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, ""))
    {
        return NULL;
    }

#ifdef _WIN32
    // Windows implementation
    int key = 0;
    if (_kbhit())
    {
        key = _getch();
    }
#else
    // Unix implementation
    struct termios old_tio, new_tio;
    tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &old_tio);
    new_tio = old_tio;
    new_tio.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ECHO);
    tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &new_tio);

    int key = 0;
    char buf = 0;
    ssize_t n;
    if ((n = read(STDIN_FILENO, &buf, 1)) > 0)
    {
        key = buf;
    }

    tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &old_tio);
#endif

    return Py_BuildValue("i", key);
}

static PyMethodDef keyboardMethods[] = {
    {"read_key", read_key, METH_VARARGS, "Reads a single key from the keyboard."},
    {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}};

static struct PyModuleDef keyboardModule = {
    PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT,
    "keyboard",
    NULL,
    -1,
    keyboardMethods};

PyMODINIT_FUNC PyInit_custom_keyboard(void)
{
    return PyModule_Create(&keyboardModule);
}

So I found this Thread but changing PyInit_custom_keyboard to Pycustom_keyboard_Create Didn't help.

Using the Developer Shell of Visual Studio with:

cl /LD /I"C:\Program Files\Python311\include" custom_keyboard.c /link /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files\Python311\libs" /OUT:custom_keyboard.pyd

I get this Error:

C:\Program Files\Python311\libs\python311.lib: Warning LNK4272:Library computer type "x64" conflicts with target computer type "x86"
custom_keyboard.pyd : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE".
