Hi Mike,
Even, I could not see the message in moderator's page. Not sure, what
happened.
LDTP keycode was done based on LTFX project. On Ubuntu 13.04, its how the
result is:
nagappan@nalagappan:~$ python
Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr 19 2013, 18:28:01)
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from ldtp import *
>>> generatekeyevent('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1 # 1 at end is output from generatekeyevent API
>>> abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thanks
Nagappan
