Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now
Reciprocally, it's just amazing how much better AutoHotKey is at scripting the computer is than everything else is. The language was clearly never the reason why AHK persisted.
There's works like AutoPy (https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopy) and AutoPilot-rs (https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopilot-rs), but they offer like 1/100th the capabilities AHK does.
Personally I think this kind of computer-control is the perfect environment for teaching computing. Rather than writing apps or webapps, I feel like the idea of just writing code to do what you the user would do anyways, but better, is a fantastic introduction to computing & programming. In my ideal world, we'd have an EVE Online server that specifically re-enables the game-client's python interpretter (and periodically does total wipes), so folks can learn to program by scripting not just their desktop, but a complex & interesting game, via it's rich api.

AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
The changes doc would be 10x more usef if it included more examples of the changes. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/v2-changes.htm
I do wish programmers had more options in general for this kind of thing. I ran into https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopilot-rs lately but it is extremely simple. On Windows there s UI Automation, which can help script many conventional apps. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/ui-automa...

Using AutoHotkey as a backend engine for PowerShell
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.

AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
There is a nice python wrapper[1], perhaps that could work for your uses?

How to automate windows without needing to get away from keyboard?
Check out AutoHotkey (AHK) for simple Windows automation needs. There is a python wrapper: https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk

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.

What are some of the main reasons I should switch to pytest from unittest?
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.
-
Interacting with Python
So, I author a Python ahk package that does this currently using IPC. The default model starts AHK and stops immediately for each command
-
Can Python do everything AHK can do?
Well, you can leverage AHK with a Python library. So, yes, Python can do everything AHK can do and more.
-
AHK is NOT user friendly
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!
