0.3.9 Experimental! New Sendkeys, and various fixes

27-November-2009

  • Major change this release is that Sendkeys is no longer a requirement! A replacement that supports Unicode is included with pywinauto. (hopefully soon to be released as a standalone module). Please note - this is still quite untested so this release should be treated with some care..

  • Made sure that default for WindowSpecification.Window_() was to look for non top level windows. The defaults in find_windows() had been changed previously and it now needed to be explicitly overridden.

  • Fixed a missing reference to ‘win32defines’ when referencing WAIT_TIMEOUT another typo of false (changed to False)

  • Removed the restriction to only get the active windows for the process, now it will be possible to get the active windows, even if a process is not specified. From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633506%28VS.85%29.aspx it gets the active window for the foreground thread.

  • Hopefully improved Delphi TreeView and ListView handling (added window class names as supported window classes to the appropriate classes).

  • Added support for running UI tests with reference controls. (requried for some localization tests)

  • Various PyLint and PEP8 fixes made.
