A cross-platform module for GUI automation for humans. Control the keyboard and mouse from a Python script.

Project description

pyautogui

A cross-platform GUI automation Python module for human beings. Used to programmatically control the mouse & keyboard.

THIS MODULE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT. It’s usable, but not all of the functions may work on all platforms.

This module seeks to replace PyUserInput, PyKeyboard, PyMouse, pykey, and pyhook. See the roadmap in the documentation.

NOTE - It is a known issue that the keyboard-related functions don’t work on Ubuntu VMs in Virtualbox.

Example Usage

>>> import pyautogui
>>> screenWidth, screenHeight = pyautogui.size()
>>> currentMouseX, currentMouseY = pyautogui.position()
>>> pyautogui.moveTo(100, 150)
>>> pyautogui.click()
>>> pyautogui.moveRel(None, 10)  # move mouse 10 pixels down
>>> pyautogui.doubleClick()
>>> pyautogui.moveTo(500, 500, duration=2, tween=pyautogui.tweens.easeInOutQuad)  # use tweening/easing function to move mouse over 2 seconds.
>>> pyautogui.typewrite('Hello world!', interval=0.25)  # type with quarter-second pause in between each key
>>> pyautogui.press('esc')
>>> pyautogui.keyDown('shift')
>>> pyautogui.press('left', 'left', 'left', 'left', 'left', 'left')
>>> pyautogui.keyUp('shift')
>>> pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'c')
