ahk VS keyboard

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.

There is a nice python wrapper[1], perhaps that could work for your uses?

Check out AutoHotkey (AHK) for simple Windows automation needs. There is a python wrapper: https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk

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).

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.

I'm not sure how helpful it will be, but one of my projects does this. Most the tests are unittest.TestCase style, some of them are pytest style. All the tests are run just using pytest.

So, I author a Python ahk package that does this currently using IPC. The default model starts AHK and stops immediately for each command

Well, you can leverage AHK with a Python library. So, yes, Python can do everything AHK can do and more.

Anyhow. AHK's non-user-friendliness is also what motivated me to make a Python wrapper for AHK. So I TOTALLY get where you're coming from!

Maybe you'd like the python wrapper for AutoHotkey better.

You can install the keyboard library, then do keyboard.wait('enter').

LOL, here you go

I'm trying to create an autoclicker using the pyautogui library. I want to create a fail safe for the user to break out of the auto clicker in case the cursor is not able to be moved and the user can't stop the program. I'm using the keyboard library to implement a hotkey to stop the auto clicker from running, but I'm not getting the intended behavior. The click() function is only executed once and the program quits. I'm on a Arch Linux, and gave the program root privileges as mentioned in the readme of keyboard

As an example here is how the keyboard module does it: https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard/blob/master/keyboard/_winmouse.py

If you needed a cross-platform solution today, I would recommend looking into Python and some of its related ecosystem, such as the keyboard package, which provides cross-platform hotkey support and keyboard automation, including 'word listeners' and its companion module mouse.

And according to this issue, there's no support for key suppression in the Linux version of keyboard.
