python-automation 0.5.7

window automation package

pyautomation

pyautomation is a set of Python modules designed to automate the Microsoft Windows GUI, specifically without interacting with the mouse cursor and keyboard. At its simplest, it allows you to post mouse and keyboard events to Windows dialogs and controls.

With the pyautomation package, you can control your GUI automatically while simultaneously controlling the mouse and keyboard physically, similar to how selenium automates web browsers.

Create virtual environment(Recommended)

python -m venv myvenv

source ./myvenv/Scripts/activate

Installation

pip install python-automation

How to use

## Handle Usage
import os, time
import pyautomation.pyauto as pyapp
os.system ('notepad.exe')
time.sleep(3)
window = pyapp.msauto.WindowControl(searchDepth=1, ClassName='Notepad')

config = pyapp.ConfigLoader.load_config(desired_parent_name= window.Name, desired_child_name= "Text editor")
wa = pyapp.WinAuto(config=config)
result, depth = wa.walk_and_find(window)
wa.type_text(result.NativeWindowHandle, "hello notepad!")



## Load configuration
# config_path = r'.\config\pyauto.json'
# config = pyauto.ConfigLoader.load_config(config_path)
config = pyapp.ConfigLoader.load_config(desired_parent_name= "test.py - python-autoevent - Visual Studio Code", desired_child_name= "Docker", monitor_index=1)

wa = pyapp.WinAuto(config=config)


## search parent and child
root = pyapp.msauto.PaneControl(Name=config.desired_parent_name)

child, child_depth = wa.walk_and_find(root, debug=True)
wa.get_info(child, child_depth, "Target")
wa.get_info(child.GetParentControl(), child_depth-1, "Target Parent")


## click relative location
x, y = wa.get_relative_location(root, child)
wa.click_relative_location(root, x, y)


## click absolute location
wa.click_at(38, 864, visible=False)
# wa.click_at(4501, 1394, visible=True)




## Image feature matching
import pyautomation.pyautovision as vs
min_match_count=15
template_path= r".\imgs\fcfb.jpg"

a = vs.image_matcher(min_match_count=min_match_count, template_path=template_path, show=False)
print(a.object_center, a.object_location)


## click from image
# if a.object_center is not None:
wa.click_at(a.object_center[0], a.object_center[1], visible=False)


## monitor info
import pyautomation.displayinfo as pydis
print(pydis.DisplayInfo().get_scale_factor(pydis.DisplayInfo().get_Qapp()))
print(pydis.DisplayInfo().get_screen_info())
