[Python] Detecting double-clicks in Pygame [duplicate]

Im trying to detect the double-clicks to a button or mouse click on Pygame. I tried millis-like method but it doesnt work. How can i both detect normal press-and-hold's and double clicks of a button?

while running:
current_time = pygame.time.get_ticks()
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT or (event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE):
running = False
elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_SPACE:
current_time = pygame.time.get_ticks()
if current_time - last_space_press_time < double_click_threshold:
os.system("pkill mpg123")
last_space_press_time = current_time
if not recording:
start_recording()
elif event.type == pygame.KEYUP and event.key == pygame.K_SPACE and recording:
stop_recording()
elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and event.button == 1:
current_time = pygame.time.get_ticks()
if current_time - last_mouse_press_time < double_click_threshold:
os.system("pkill mpg123")
last_mouse_press_time = current_time
if is_in_exit_area(event.pos):
running = False
elif not recording and not mouse_recording:
mouse_recording = True
start_recording()
elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP and event.button == 1 and mouse_recording:
mouse_recording = False
if recording:
stop_recording()


No errors tho, its just triggering start_recording function and even i double-click, it doesn't run "pkill mpg123". Thanks
