ctypes.ArgumentError / TypeError: wrong type in drivers/steamdeck.py

[bell07]

Currently I use sc-controller-0.4.8.17 on my SteamDeck in Gentoo Linux. the version is provided by Gentoo Repository.

Since I have some small issues with the version, I tried the Beta AppImage today.
unfortunately the daemon repeats an error in loop.

[ ... repeat the TypeError .... ]

Try .7, I have guessed at the issue in 0d31521

New images should be built in a couple minutes - https://github.com/C0rn3j/sc-controller/releases/tag/v0.4.9.7

Reopen if it persists.

The $(pwd)/usr/bin/python problem is still there, but it does not seem to be fatal.

Thank you! The 0.4.9.7 does work on SteamDeck now again
