    Scripting SAP GUI (Windows)

    Hi,

    I need to script SAP GUI running on MS-Windows:

    Open SAP GUI window, if it is not already open, and then batch input
    some keystrokes.

    The following solutions were found by google:

    - autohotkey: not preferred, since it has an own programming
    language. This will slow down development.
    - pyHook
    - user pywin32 and SetWindowsHookE x

    I develop with python since seven years, but only on linux.

    Any hints?

      First of all Linux is much better place.

      why you want to automate GUI with python. You can easily use QTP such
      GUI testing tools to automate your staff.

      But that does not mean I am saying the Python is bad in any way. Py and
      Perl are the two most good things in this world.

      py-py,

          I just got this link in a german newsgroup:

          http://pywinauto.openqa.org/


          Seems to be what I was looking for. Nevertheless feedback still welcome.

              Doesn't that thing have a COM interface?

                      Hi!

                      You can use Autoit.
                      Bad "conception " language ; but many good tools, for identify windows,
                      process, send keystrokes, emulate mouse, etc.
                      (Autohotkey is make on Autoit 2 ; Autoit is actually in version 3).
                      Good trick : Autoit-X is a COM server, with the most importants
                      functions of Autoit (nor GUI) ; and Autoit-X can be driven from
                      Python+PyWin32.
