how to make ABS_X and ABS_Y attributes work with mouse pointer movement #43

I would like to make the mouse pointer/cursor move independently and directly to the given x and y positions without the need to use the relative attributes (REL_X, REL_Y) seen that these two ones make the mouse movement using as reference the actual x and y positions. I wrote this script below to try make the mouse pointer goes directly but nothing happens.

import uinput
from time import sleep


def createDevice():
    device = uinput.Device([
        uinput.ABS_X,
        uinput.ABS_Y,
        uinput.BTN_LEFT,
        uinput.BTN_RIGHT,
        ])
    return device

def emitActions(device):
    sleep(1)
    device.emit(uinput.ABS_X, 26, syn=False)
    sleep(1)
    device.emit(uinput.ABS_Y, 665, syn=False)
    sleep(1)
    device.syn()
    sleep(1)
    device.emit(uinput.BTN_LEFT, 1)
    sleep(1)
    device.emit(uinput.BTN_LEFT, 0)

def main():
    dev = createDevice()
    emitActions(dev)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

When I debugged this code I didn't get errors, but I would like to know what's missing there in this code to make that the mouse pointer goes to the desired x and y positions?
