if i pass a string containing non-ascii chars (like "éèçà" and their friends) only the ascii characters are typed, seems toggleUniKey() in keypress.c converst to unsigned char, so there is no unicode support whatsoever, is it possible to find a fix for that?

bitmap.capture_screen capture on OSX 10.7 cause black screen

The coordinates of bitmaps found are always off by one in x and y direction,
best illustrated by the following code:
ARROW = autopy.bitmap.Bitmap.open("arrows.png")
print ARROW.find_bitmap(ARROW)
results in (1,1) instead of the expected (0,0) possibly due to
findBitmapInRectAt, which does 8ofr an unknown reason)
increment the point offset before return:
if (needleAtOffset(needle, haystack, pointOffset, tolerance)) {
++pointOffset.x;
++pointOffset.y;
*point = pointOffset;
return 0;

this has the additional side effect, that the find all bitmaps code does not work properly since it does not find identical bitmaps with the same y coordinate because it starts looking at the coordinates returned by the code above.

Would be very useful write code like this

Here I could open some programs

screen.focus("Firefox")

or...

name = screen.getNameByPos(100, 150)
screen.focus(name)

A more proper version format should be used in setup.py, similar with the ones mentioned (recommended) by PEP 386. For example 0.43b2.

what should I do?

I'd really love for my autopy scripts to be run under Python 3 instead of Python 2. If autopy could support Python 3, that's be great.

Hi,

If two or more bitmaps u are searching for are on the same row, find_all_bitmaps will only find one.

Fix:

//++pointOffset.x;
//++pointOffset.y;

in bitmap_find.c

Cheers!

When I try to use Autopy to move the mouse to any monitor except my primary, I get "ValueError: Point out of bounds:.

Is Autopy able to move the mouse to multiple monitors?

When trying to use the bitmap.capture_screen() function, I'm getting this error and it crashes:

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way please contact the application's support

The screen grab still works though and it saves ok.

Setup: Win7/Python 2.5/MinGW

Hi all, and thanks again for the time and brain power dedicated towards this project!

Now that I've pulled a more recent update, I noticed that another cast conversion warning/error exists in keycode.c.
error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘const __CFData*’

I believe that this should be rectified with the following.
(CFDataRef) TISGetInputSourceProperty(currentKeyboard,

• Gentoo Linux x86
• GCC 4.3.4
• Python 2.6.4
• libpng (media-libs/libpng-1.2.40)
• zlib (sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1)
• X11 (x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r1) with the XTest extension (x11-libs/libXtst-1.0.3)

Error:
>>> import autopy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "autopy/init.py", line 7, in
import autopy.alert
ImportError: No module named alert

It would be nice to convert autopy into pure python package.

Advantages:

• easy to install
• no more build errors
• more flexible

Disadvantages:

• slower

C implementation can be an alternative as cAutopy (like Pickle/cPickle).

Mouse control has already a pure Python implementation in PyMouse (https://github.com/pepijndevos/PyMouse),
this would be very easy to integrate.

PyMouse has an additional backend: Java

For the documentation:
on Ubuntu libxtst-dev is a dependency.

I'd like to request a function to control the media player, since python is missing this.
It could be implemented sending keystrokes to the player process.

Whenever I try to make a screen capture of a specific region I get a black bitmap.
It looks like rect = ((100,100),(100,200)) does not work properly.
Instead of going 100x,100y into the screen it goes backward i.e. the 100,100 is -100,-100.
But when I enter -100,-100 I get a "out of bound" error.

Im trying to detect the color at at special point, however trying to use screen.get_color(x,y) just returns a 0 when i was expecting a hexidecimal, is there a fix for this?

I get this error when trying to build it. I've tried it on both a Windows 7 and 8 machine. Both 64bit. It's the same error as issue 24 #24 but I tried installing Visual Studio 2008 Express and it didn't help.

gcc: error: user32.lib: No such file or directory

This package/module runs into an issue with the 'gcc' compiler on mac OSX that's running Anaconda.

Here's the error output (while trying to use "pip" -- it's also true for "setup.py install" and "easy_install autopy"

Hello, is it possible to change this line in deadbeef_rand.c to:
return (t << 24) ^ (c << 11) ^ t ^ (unsigned long) &c;

This will avoid the following warning (in c, or error when compiled in c++) on machines where the addresses are longer than 32 bits.
warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

I've run the installer on Windows XP (32 bit) with Python 2.6.1. I opened up a Python console to give it a try and I received this:

>>> import pydroid
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pydroid\__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    import pydroid.bitmap
ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start because the a
pplication configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this
 problem.
>>>

Sometimes mouse.smooth_move gives:
ValueError: Point out of bounds

Just try to move the cursor in different position and use this function in order to see the problem.

When setting mouse position in another screen ValueError: Point out of bounds happens.

I can't visit the official site

from PIL import Image
possible add following api for rect compare using native autopy instead PIL

def compare_rect((ax,ay),bmp_name):
im=Image.open(bmp_name)
rect = ((ax-1,ay-1),(im.size[0]+2,im.size[1]+2))
tst = bitmap.Bitmap.open(bmp_name)
scr = bitmap.capture_screen(rect)
pos = scr.find_bitmap(tst)
if pos:
return 1
else:
return 0

autopy.mouse.move does not move to the correct position on the windows platform due to rounding errors. The problem are the following lines in src/mouse.c:

point.x *= 0xFFFF / GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
point.y *= 0xFFFF / GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

because if I want to move to (2000, 10) (I have two joined screens which gives a total res of 2560x1024),
it calculates for the x-coordinate 0xFFFF/2560 = 25 and then 2000 * 25 = 50000 while the correct result is
2000 * 0xFFFF / 2560 = 51199. This gives as a result a x-position of 50000 * 2560 / 0xFFF = 1953 (47 pixels off).

A workaround is to use ctypes.windll.user32.SetCursorPos(2000,10) which is not equivalent (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3720938/win32-moving-mouse-with-setcursorpos-vs-mouse-event) but may help in some cases.

I've taken a screenshot, saved it as a png, then clipped part of it (which the library really should allow.), now autopy cannot find the clipped version in the larger image. What's the deal?

I'm using GIMP to edit the images, and loading both back in, via Bitmap.open()

I have write a mouse control script by autopy module ,and it works well.But when I want to stop the script ,the problem is appear. I can't get the mouse focus ! when I move the mouse cursor,it will quickly return the before position.

Now I have to use shortcut key to launch a terminal to use command ps -aux | grep script.py to get the script pid_num and use kill pid_num to terminated the script. In addition,when the autopy script running the C-c is doesn't works.

So how can I stop this script ! Is there a elegant sulution ?

(Sorry for the bad English)

Hello msanders,

first of all thanks for this library. I think it has the best API I've ever seen!
Unfortunately some essential thinks in the module "key" doesn't seem to work on my system (Ubuntu).

I've written an test script with comments in it to show you what I mean (appended after the PS).
I'm using a german keyboard layout / os, could this be a problem?

Do you see the same behavior as described in my script?
If yes: Do you think the problem is easy to fix?
I would love to use your library, sadly I don't know C, so I can't debug this myself.

Best regard,
Daniel

PS: here is the test script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from autopy import key as k

import subprocess
import time

TAB = 65289

def main( ):
    test_typing( )
    alt_tab_test( )

def test_typing( ):
    """
    typing a string doesn't works. Some chars are ignored (key.type_string) or
    the false character is written (line 24, 25)
    """
    string = "123456789!§$%&/()=?¹²³¼½¬{[]}\ "
    p = subprocess.Popen( "gedit", shell=True )
    time.sleep( 2 )
    # bad => "123456789134567()0ß1234567890ß ":
    for char in string:
        k.tap( ord( char ) )
    # worse => "123456789":
    #k.type_string( string )

def alt_tab_test( ):
    """
    modifiers don't seem to work. But it is easy to work around.
    """
    # works:
    k.toggle( k.K_ALT, True )
    k.tap( TAB )
    k.toggle( k.K_ALT, False )
    # failed with: Segmentation fault
    k.tap( TAB, k.MOD_ALT )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main( )

I hope this is quicker than forking/submitting a patch

please add TAB to the list of keys supported by autopy

keycode.h: K_TAB = kVK_Tab
keycode.h: K_TAB = XK_Tab
keycode.h: K_TAB = VK_TAB
autopy-key-module.c: PyModule_AddIntMacro(mod, K_TAB) < 0 ||

The code doesn't properly compile on OS X 10.8 (and possibly others?).

It fails with GL_RGBA being undefined.

Add the following to src/screengrab.c's OS X includes:

include <OpenGL/gl.h>

I am still seeing compile errors, but this gets me past that one.

There seems to be no activity in the original github project for the last 3 years. Looking into the fork overview I see about a dozen of unmerged forks. There are 5 open pull request which look like serious fixes.

Does anyone here have an overview over the project status? I would like to see a version of autopy including all those fixes as well as a Python 3 port. Is anyone here working on that target yet?

E.g., the output of the following should be 'A':

key.toggle(key.K_SHIFT, True)
key.tap('a')
key.toggle(key.K_SHIFT, False)

But on OS X, it is merely 'a'.

This appears to be a bug with CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent(); see: http://lists.apple.com/archives/quartz-dev/2009/Dec/msg00067.html

Is there an alternative (Carbon, maybe?) function we can use in the meantime?

The python code depends on calls to functions in the shared libraries that are compiled as inline functions. These functions need to either not be called outside of the C code, or need to be compiled in to the libraries as functions, rather than inlined into other functions.

Under Win 7 x64, using Cygwin x64 v 1.7.32, gcc 4.8.3 and python 2.7.8

Compiling is successful afterwards.

Perhaps there's a deeper issue that someone here might get a grasp of.

Hi, I checked the site http://pypi.python.org/pypi/autopy/ , and didn't find any windows installer for py2.6
so I want to build it by myself.
however I got some error, please see the below info.
Could anyone please help me? thanks.

import autopy

import autopy.bitmap
ImportError: DLL load failed: The application has failed to start because its s
de-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for
more detail.

I tried installing vcredist_x86.exe to eliminate the side-by-side error but it did not work.

They're very handy. Sure, most folks will guess that the attributes are there, but it's good to be explicit :).

I dont' think tolerance is really defined in the tutorial or the API doc. What are the valid ranges for tolerance values? 0.0 to 1.0? Or greater than 1 as well?

Based on testing, I'm assuming 0.0, the default, is must be exact match? And towards 1.0 means higher tolerance for partial or even no matches. At 1.0, for a test needle, testing with find bitmap against screen capture, it returns coordinates of (1,1) when the needle is not even present.

So would be helpful to clarify for users who are not well skilled in image recognition tools.

is autopy dead ?

Both easy_install autopy and building from source fail when building src/screengrab.c.

I tried the getting start sample on README.md, but in the line of x_dim, y_dim = m.screen_size() the program stops. Anyone have ideas to solve this?

My developping environment is below.

• Mac OS X 10.10
• Python 2.7.8 (installed via Homebrew)

I tried lines below.

from pymouse import PyMouse
from pykeyboard import PyKeyboard

m = PyMouse()
k = PyKeyboard()
x_dim, y_dim = m.screen_size()
m.click(x_dim/2, y_dim/2, 1)

Used the 32-bit Windows installer and received the following error when trying to import autopy.

import autopy.alert
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

It doesn't appear to be in the API docs, but it's really useful. I had to look at the Bitmap instance in order to find it.

get_portion(...)
    bmp.get_portion(x, y, width, height) -> Bitmap object
    Returns new bitmap object created from portion of another.

Is this project still under development? Would be sad if it's droped.

I've got this error when I "import autopy" I get an error about a missing DLL,
So I've looked over the bitmap.pyd with the "explorer suite" a tool to see dll dependencies and a lot
more. There I can read that the bitmap.pyd needs "USER32.dll, GDI32.dll, KERNEL32.dll, MSVCR90.dll, python26.dll and the zlib1.dll" I have all of these dlls. The MSVCR90.dll is is the version 9.00.21022.8, the zlib1.dll 1.2.3 and python 2.6.5.

I don't know what else I can do to get the bitmap.pyd to run.

Line 40 in setup.py says

init_path = os.path.join(dir_path, '/__init__.py')

That directory separater is not required since os.path.join automatically adds it. In it's current state, if dir_path is an empty string, which it was in my case, init_path would point to /__init__.py. It needs to be changed to

init_path = os.path.join(dir_path, '__init__.py')
