I can see Sikuli easily progressing to a full visual programming interface, replacing the 'click' keyword et al with iconic representations. Simple script-less GUI macro-ing for the masses?

Well, the pattern recognition engine allows you to recognize partial matches to any image, to any desired degree of accuracy. In other words, you can specify to take action only when an exact match is found, or else when a 50% match is found. This allows applications like the baby monitor (to tell you when your sleeping baby wakes up, and the imminent bus arrival monitor (to tell you when your bus is within one mile or any distance you want), and the route mapper from one city to another on a digital map. Another thing, Sikuli works with web pages. In other words, you can automate interaction with web sites as well as with desktop applications. You can also automate the entry of text. And it works (theoretically) on any graphical platform (Mac, Linux, Window, smartphones, etc). Probably other advantages. Those are just the ones I see off the top of my head. Good question.

CM cmpyt...@gmail.com wrote: How is this preferable to a macro recorder? Macro recorders work by measuring mouse motion and capturing click locations, or by recording the control IDs of the clicked windows. The former is sensitive to changing window locations, the latter to application updates. Sikuli works by using image analysis to locate the regions on the screen to be tickled. It's a novel idea, although others have correctly pointed out that it's not the most efficient way to automate applications. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Sikuli: the coolest Python project I have yet seen...
Thew link at MIT does appear to be down right now, but I presume it will come back up. Well, those of you who find it underwhelming are in good company. See the blog post at Lambda the Ultimate http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3783 I was impressed though by the application to notify you when your bus gets close to the pickup point, using Google maps, and by the app to automatically chart a course to Houston from LA on I-10, again using Google maps. And perhaps most of all, the app to notify you when your sleeping baby wakes up, from a picture on a digital camera. Hey, most of life is non-deterministic. I am in the analog engineering world and simple, deterministic black and white situations are all fine and useful, but I can see this very easy to use and simple technology being useful also ;-)) All of the above apps are but a few lines of code.

Re: Sikuli: the coolest Python project I have yet seen...
OK, here's an idea. I used to do screen scraping scripts and run them as CGI scripts with an HTMl user interface. Why not run Sikuli on Jython on a JVM running on my server, so that I can do my screen scraping with Sikuli? I can take user inputs by using CGI forms from a web client, process the requests using a Sikuli script on the server, and send the results back to the web client. This sounds like fun to me, and easier to highlight and capture the appropriate screen information on targeted web sites using Sikuli than to hand code location information or even using Beautiful Soup. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
