    Mouse and/or keyboard simulation


    No one in the world knows the answer to my question!
    " Is it possible to emulate in Python for Linux the mouse and/or the keyboard?"
    I am coming from XP, where I have plenty of methods (AutoIt, Macro Express,
    Macro Scheduler and even VBA macro registration in Excel).

    It is not necessary that I use Python (it should be better!). The goal of my request is
    obviously automatization of tasks in X environment, like shell programming in non-graphic
    environment.
    Examples of application could be:
    - Send queries to the server exacly simulating what I do by hand (urllib technique is difficult
    to apply with certain servers...)
    - Send to the printer or delete part of documents
    - ... and so on

    I know that all this tasks could be programmed, but for a newbie like me it is easier to
    follow what I already know.null

      what you want is an interface to xtest

      look for xautomation package (not python, but calling xautomation from
      python is trivial)

      I used it successfully to get an information out of old win3.1 program
      running under WINE
      (10000 times (pagedown + screenshot + OCR))
