Well. I author something similar, it's a bridge to use AHK from Python, but when it comes to this idea of a fully structured means of passing data between the two platforms that's something that this package implements.

Alternative to pyautogui for mouse click
There's pynput but that might have the same problem. If you're on Windows AutoHotkey is an awesome way to automate mouse and keyboard actions (but it's a different language than Python, although it seems someone has made a Python wrapper for it).

Which python library: ahkpy or ahk?
In this case, both seem reasonably active for a project like this. The latter (https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk) seems more active and has more comprehensive docs.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D: Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 23.04 Linux Performance
On Linux, the more direct equivalent to AHK is the similarly named AutoKey. AHK itself is never going to be cross-platform, due to the low-level it interacts specifically with Windows, but AutoKey is the Linux equivalent, designed to interact low-level with Linux in a similar way to AHK on Windows.
