If anyone is looking to automate gui tests ( similar to scripts/runtests),
I found library 'pyautogui' to be very interesting. It can generate key stokes ( alt ctrl shift combos too) It can generate mouse movement in the gui. It can _find_ buttons and click them. It helped me send keystrokes to my xfce4-terminal to clear it... pyautogui.hotkey('alt', 't') ; pyautogui.typewrite([ 'c']) https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html hth tomp _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
