There were a lot of development but then all ceased, except pywinauto has a final release in April, but really low community activity. Does it mean AutoIt has much more advantages than Python tools (which I have not realized) ? > Which Python implementation are you planning on contributing to? I'd say pywinauto. It's more O-O than the other tools. Excerpt from its homepage (http://pywinauto.openqa.org/): <quote> Most other tools are not object oriented you end up writing stuff like: window = findwindow(title = "Untitled - Notepad", class = "Notepad") SendKeys(window, "%OF") # Format -> Font fontdialog = findwindow("title = "Font") buttonClick(fontdialog, "OK") I was hoping to create something more userfriendly (and pythonic): win = app.UntitledNotepad win.MenuSelect("Format->Font") app.Font.OK.Click() </quote> Alex Barna -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
