pywinauto is a Python library for automating the Microsoft Windows GUI, sending mouse and keyboard actions to windows, dialogs, and controls based on text properties. It supports Win32 API and MS UI Automation backends, with mouse/keyboard emulation modules that also work on Linux.
Use cases
- automate windows desktop application testing with python
- send mouse and keyboard input to windows dialogs programmatically
- write ui automated tests for win32 applications
- extract text data from windows controls
- script repetitive tasks in windows gui applications
- test desktop apps using ms ui automation backend
When to avoid
- you need to automate macOS GUIs
- you are testing web applications in a browser
- you need a record-replay tool with a graphical recorder out of the box
