How to use mouse scroll as an event to simulate a click

Question

So, hello everyone, I am a python, sort of beginner, programmer and recently I have the problem that for some reasons, I wanna use the mouse scroll wheel as a left-click, basically, rotating the scroll wheel once simulates the left click(or any key/click) once, I have been having difficulty in doing this so any help would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Stackoverflow, please share what you have tried so far to make problem more clear for others otherwise no one will code for you. — user11796003

You can install mouse package

pip install mouse

And then send custom mouse events to your program.

# scroll down
mouse.wheel(-1)

# scroll up
mouse.wheel(1)

# left click
mouse.click('left')

# right click
mouse.click('right')

# middle click
mouse.click('middle')

take a look at: https://pypi.org/project/mouse/

But won't that just simulate a scroll event? I want to record a scroll event

Read the mouse doc and you can accomplish that. github.com/boppreh/mouse#mouse.record

Thanks dude but this will be inefficient because ill have to first record the scrolls, process them and then simulate, any way to keep them real time?
