A Python wrapper for AHK
Project description
ahk
A Python wrapper around AHK.
Installation
pip install ahk
Usage
from ahk import AHK
ahk = AHK()
ahk.mouse_move(x=100, y=100, speed=10) # blocks until mouse finishes moving
print(ahk.mouse_position) # (100, 100)
non-blocking modes
You can also opt for a non-blocking interface, so you can do other stuff while AHK scripts run.
import time
from ahk import AHK
ahk = AHK()
ahk.mouse_position = (200, 200) # moves the mouse instantly to the position
start = time.time()
ahk.mouse_move(x=100, y=100, speed=30, blocking=False)
while True: # report mouse position while it moves
t = round(time.time() - start, 4)
position = ahk.mouse_position
print(t, position)
if position == (100, 100):
break
You should see an output something like
0.032 (187, 187)
0.094 (173, 173)
0.137 (164, 164)
...
0.788 (100, 103)
0.831 (100, 101)
0.873 (100, 100)
Non-Python Dependencies
Just the AHK executable. It's expected to be on PATH by default.
Alternatively you can set an AHK_PATH
environment variable.
Or, provide it inline
from ahk import AHK
ahk = AHK(executable_path='C:\\ProgramFiles\\AutoHotkey\\AutoHotkey.exe')
Development
Right now this is just an exploration of an idea. It may not even be a particularly good idea.
There's still a bit to be done in the way of implementation.
The vision is to provide additional interfaces that implement the most important parts of the AHK API in a Pythonic way.
