Automate it with Python.

What is this?

-------------

This Python 3 package aims to help you automate several GUI actions

easily through Python, like clicking, moving the mouse around, using

the keyboard, etc.

How to install it?

------------------

.. code-block::

    pip install autoit

External requirements?

----------------------

- Windows, or

- Linux

  - ``xdotool`` to do any ``ait`` operation.

  - Python's ``Xlib`` to use ``ait.log`` (mouse/keyboard logger).

What does it look like?

-----------------------

.. code-block:: python

    import ait

    # Click wherever the mouse is

    ait.click()

    # Click with the right mouse button

    ait.click('R')

    # Click at some position

    ait.click(140, 480)

    # Click in the center of the screen with the middle button

    ait.click(0.5, 0.5, 'M')

    # Click 10 pixels below

    ait.click(0j, 10j)

    # Movement (absolute, percentage and relative) can also be done

    ait.move(140, 480)

    ait.move(0.5, 0.5)

    ait.move(60j, -9j)

    # Mouse position can also be retrieved

    x, y = ait.mouse()

    # Pressing keys can also be done

    ait.press('q', '!', '\n')  # Exit vim

    ait.press(*'\b' * 10)  # 10 backspaces

    # Writing things with the keyboard too

    ait.write('Hello world!\n')
