PyAutoGUI is a cross-platform GUI automation Python module used to programmatically control the mouse and keyboard.

Official document.

PyAutoGUI lets your Python scripts control the mouse and keyboard to automate interactions with other applications. The API is designed to be as simple. PyAutoGUI works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and runs on Python 2 and 3.

PyAutoGUI has several features:

  • Moving the mouse and clicking or typing in the windows of other applications.
  • Sending keystrokes to applications (for example, to fill out forms).
  • Take screenshots, and given an image (for example, of a button or checkbox), find it on the screen.
  • Locate an application’s window, and move, resize, maximize, minimize, or close it (Windows-only, currently) Display message boxes for user interaction while your GUI automation script runs.
