This library provides various functions to control and manage IO events

As of version 0.0.1, there are three modules in this package.

1. keyutils - used to manage keyboard IO events
2. mouseutils - used to manage mouse IO events
3. windowutils - used to manage window IO events

To install this package, type in command prompt:

pip install keyio

[1] Controlling and Monitoring Keyboard Events

(1-A) Simulating Key Pressing

press_key(self, target_key : int) -> KeyUtils

#example 1
from keyio.keyutils import KeyUtils
key_utils  = KeyUtils()
target_key = KeyUtils.Key.KEY_ESC
key_utils.press_key(target_key)

(1-B) Simulating Key Releasing

release_key(self, target_key : int) -> KeyUtils

#example 2
from keyio.keyutils import KeyUtils

(1-D) Monitoring Key Events

Example

#example 3
from keyio.keyutils import KeyUtils
key_utils    = KeyUtils()
key_1        = KeyUtils.Key.KEY_ESC
key_2        = KeyUtils.Key.KEY_SPACE
keep_running = True
@key_utils.monitor([ key_1, key_2 ])
def monitor_exit(key_code : int, key_pressed : bool) -> None:
    global keep_running
    keep_running = False
@key_utils.monitor("abcdefg092")
def monitor_char(key_code : int, key_pressed : bool) -> None:
    print(chr(key_code), end = ' ')
    if (key_pressed):
        print("pressed")
    else:
        print("released")
key_utils.initialize_monitors()
key_utils.start_thread()
while (keep_running):
    pass
key_utils.stop_thread()

[2] Controlling and Monitoring Mouse Events

(2-A) Simulating Mouse Pressing

press_button(self, mouse_button : int) -> MouseUtils

#example 4
from keyio.mouseutils import MouseUtils
mouse_utils  = MouseUtils()
mouse_button = MouseUtils.LEFT_BUTTON
mouse_utils.press_button(mouse_button)

(2-B) Simulating Mouse Releasing

release_button(self, mouse_button : int) -> MouseUtils

#example 5
from keyio.mouseutils import MouseUtils
mouse_utils  = MouseUtils()
mouse_button = MouseUtils.MIDDLE_BUTTON
mouse_utils.release_button(mouse_button)

(2-C) Simulating Scroll

scroll(self, dy : int) -> MouseUtils

#example 6
from keyio.mouseutils import MouseUtils
mouse_utils  = MouseUtils()
dy           = -10
mouse_utils.scroll(dy)

(2-D) Obtaining Cursor Coordinates

get_mouse_coord(self) -> Tuple[ int, int ]

#example 7
from keyio.mouseutils import MouseUtils
mouse_utils = MouseUtils()
(x, y)      = mouse_utils.get_mouse_coord()
print("({},{})".format(x, y))

(2-E) Setting Cursor Coordinates

set_mouse_coord(self, x : int, y : int) -> MouseUtils

#example 8
from keyio.mouseutils import MouseUtils
mouse_utils = MouseUtils()
(x, y)      = (127, 89)
mouse_utils.set_mouse_coord(x, y)

(2-F) Mouse Event List

MouseUtils

Button/Event	Value	Description
LEFT_BUTTON	0	0
MIDDLE_BUTTON	1	1
RIGHT_BUTTON	2	2
MOUSE_MOVE	3	3

(2-G) Monitoring Mouse Events

Example

#example 9
from typing import Tuple
from keyio.mouseutils import MouseUtils
mouse_utils  = MouseUtils()
button_1     = MouseUtils.LEFT_BUTTON
button_2     = MouseUtils.RIGHT_BUTTON
button_3     = MouseUtils.MIDDLE_BUTTON
keep_running = True
@mouse_utils.monitor([ button_1, button_2, button_3 ])
def monitor_exit(mouse_button : int, button_pressed : bool) -> None:
    global keep_running
    keep_running = False

from keyio.windowutils import WindowUtils
window_utils = WindowUtils()
(sx, sy, ex, ey) = window_utils.get_foreground_window()
print("Window: ({},{},{},{})".format(sx, sy, ex, ey))

(3-B) Set Bounding Box of Selected Window

set_foreground_window(self, sx : int, sy : int, dx : int = -1, dy : int = -1, flag : int = 0x0040) -> WindowUtils

move_foreground_window(self, sx : int, sy : int, flag : int = 0x0040) -> WindowUtils

#example 12
from keyio.windowutils import WindowUtils
window_utils = WindowUtils()
