mouse VS more-itertools

Pyhook has not been updated since 2008. Can you get around with the keyboard module and maybe mouse.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 here are some libraries that might pique your interest although they don't strictly answer your question: - tqdm for adding a progress bar on for loops (it comes with useful information like iteration per second and estimated time needed to finish) - alive_progress adds a progress bar like tqdm, but it works even with generators and while loops which I don't think tqdm does. -timebudget, with just a decorator as soon as a function is completed it prints the time taken to execute it - send2trash for sending files to the trash bin instead of permanently deleting them - keyboard for sending keyboard inputs or check if a key is pressed - mouse same as keyboard but with mouse buttons - textract for extracting text from many types of file with a single interface. It supports documents, powerpoint presentations, csv, excels, images, gifs, audio, and many more

I'd bet that reading through more-itertools would be a good exercise.

check out the code examples in itertools and the source code of more-itertools if you want to see cases where next and iter get used by themselves.

from itertools import islice # Copied from the more-itertools library (MIT license) # https://github.com/more-itertools/more-itertools def batched(iterable, n): "Batch data into lists of length n. The last batch may be shorter." # batched('ABCDEFG', 3) --> ABC DEF G if n < 1: raise ValueError('n must be at least one') it = iter(iterable) while (batch := list(islice(it, n))): yield batch

more_itertools.chunked

I've had a tab open to more-itertools on github for weeks; maybe I should go read it...

The popular more-itertools library implements (among many others) a chunked method which yields lists of size n from an iterator. There is also the ichunked method which yields iterators of size n instead of lists.

There's a function called consecutive_groups in the more-itertools library that will do this for you efficiently.

Here are some that might answer your question: - algorithms is a library which contains many of the most useful algorithms for sorting, searching, working with trees, math algorithms like factorials, prime finders and many more - data classes to save you the trouble of writing everytime special methods in a class like init, repr, set, get - box allows the use of dot on dictionaries to access the keys - more-itertools for more routines to operate on iterables than those itertools provide.
