Unlike some other languages, Python doesn't support getting the mouse
coordinates directly.
You will have to tell us what version of Python you are using, what
operating system you are using, and the version of the OS.
If you are using Linux, you probably should tell us what Window Manager
you have (Gnome, XFCE, KDE, etc...).
Are you using a GUI toolkit, like tkinter, PyQt or similar? If so you
should tell us.
I'm sorry if this seems complicated, but Python is a language designed to
operate on hardware where there might not even be a mouse, so it doesn't
support this function without using an external library, and that will
depend on your system.
