creating a python program to control the cursor and click a location on the screen at specified delay interval?

HiSo just testing the feasibility of doing this but I was interested in creating a primitive way of scripting gui applications w/o using a remote network client by having the application up and then almost just using the pointer position to figure out where it is and then click it and any subse

Persistent Distributed Objects

I am interested in seeing how it would be possible in python to have persistent objects (basically be able to save objects midway through a computation, etc) and do so across multiple computers. Something that would allow for memory, disk space, processing power, etc to be distributed across the n

Just checking to see if this is more adequate to what you would have wanted to see I didn't get any feedback so I wasn't quite sure of this at the present time. On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 11:02 PM, John Haggerty wrote: > > > On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 10:46 PM, Chris Rebert wrote:

not authenticating into gmail at all. At first I thought this was an issue of the ssl certificates not working but hen how come it's possible to have any of the code working when it's just the sending? And how is it possible that generic but different code can be working when it

redoing libgmail interface to "smtplib" blah?

The following program is theoretically supposed to use a supported library. Issues have come up where the library is not working and now another interface is being requierd to be used. At this point I'm looking at just changing the send commands but don't feel confident in doing so. Wondering spec

Re: unittest

This is an interesting question. I am just wondering: do you really have that many features that it would be impossible to just have a shell script run specific types of input or tests? When I did programming in the past for education they just had lists of input data and we ran the program agains
