I'm curious what other users use for automating Windows & widgets with
Python (on Windows platforms that is).
By automating- I mean clicking buttons and activating check boxes, menus,
maximizing/minimizing Windows, sending keystrokes, etc.

>From what I've seen packages/frameworks like this are pretty scarce for
Python.
PyWinAuto was the only package that looked worthwhile using, but the
documentation drove me crazy.

I've opted for AutoIt3 which is a superb automation package, is mostly
C-like, is open source, very popular, actively supported and extremely
full-featured.
I'd rather do it through Python if possible. AutoIt3 has COM support but
only a measly subset is supported via COM.
(I try to stay as far away from COM as possible, though even it it means I
can use Python.I've had too many COM servers crash before a call returned,
leaving the client hung)


Thanks
