PyGB 0.9.54

PyGB lets Python control the mouse and keyboard, and other GUI automation tasks. For Windows, macOS, and Linux, on Python 3 and 2.

PyGB

PyGB (Py-GUI-Background) is a fork of the PyAutoGUI to support background keyboard and mouse events to a specific window.

Getting Started

Everything is the same as in the original PyAutoGUI, except for each function you can add a window argument to specify the window to send the event to (the window can be inactive, running in the background).

If the window argument is not specified, the event will be sent to the global event tap (same as original PyAutoGUI).

import pygb

# Press key to a specific window
pygb.keyDown('a', window=859)
pygb.keyUp('a', window=859)

# Take screenshot of a specific window
img = pygb.screenshot('a', window=859)

Window APIs
