Thanks for watching! Always new things to learn, especially with Python:)

This dude is spreading the Gosple of this amazing library!!! Was introduced to the library years ago by probably the greatest teacher of Python in the history of time and universe: Al Sweigert. In his book "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python", it's in the freaking title, he goes deep and give so many ideas and use cases. I've automated so many things with this library that it's criminal! I mean let's just say going remote is the greatest blessing after knowing this library. PyAutoGUI has taken calls/messages with Twilio Python SDK, edited created Excel/Google sheets with XLWings, edited PDF files with Reportlab, etc... Don't tell my former or current bosses...

I discovered this library like a day ago. It's wonderful. Now i have a script for document visualization/analysis with pause/resume and stop features that i can use to check hundreds of documents from clients in my work. Just sitting down, sipping some coffee and looking at screen while the pages flip automatically. No more tendinitis-inducing keyboard mashing. Btw +1 sub here. This was my 1st video here and i love your content already

wonderful overview of the pyautogui library. Thank you.

This is an excellent video. I am definitely using this library to automate my mundane tasks.

what amazing video from a bright prof ... respect

Amazing Video... The explanation is objectively speaking at the top of its game... Thumbs Up👍

Hi, I am trying to click to specific text on desktop screen. kindly help me. I'm new with python. Thanks in advance

I'm from Brazil, it's a pleasure to meet your channel. I'm running PyautoGUI and even with other open screens or programs, the screenshot or locateCenterOnScreen, it always takes the MAC home page, the opening screen without icons, just the background screen and the top menu. Do you know why and how to solve it?

Hi sir , can we automate multiple screens drag , is it possible , any idea pls

@BaldGuyDIY

The coordinate system used in pyautogui works fine for multiple monitors. Depending how you have them configured, multiple monitors are just stitched together at the edges. So for example, if you had two 1280 x 1024 resolution monitors, the first monitor automation happens between 0 and 1280 horizontally, and between 0 and 1024 vertically. The next monitor automation shows up, if it is to the right, between 1281 to 2560 horizontally and between 0 and 1024 vertically.

Hello, thanks for the help but I have a question. It is searching my whole screen for that image and it is taking very long. Does anyone know how to make it faster? I thought maybe something where it is only looking between x pixel and y pixel. If someone has an idea let me know!

Pyautogui has options on their functions to limits the locates to a range of pixels. Works well if the image you’re looking for always appears in the same area of your screen.

@BaldGuyDIY

Depending on the browser, there are usually keyboard hot keys that will set the browser to a standard size (100%). As part of your script you write a line that runs that key sequence, the browser will go to that size, and you base all your images off that. Other Python modules also have functions that set the browser size upon launching, such as Selenium. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and commenting! You can create your own click function with pyautogui that would have a longer click time. Use mouseDown and mouseUp with some delay between and you should be able to make something suitable.

Also make the delay be a random float, not the same or some anti-cheat softwares will detect that

This works great until someone doesn't have the browser app maximized and the search box is no longer in the same location. You need to have a more robust way of giving the search box focus to avoid your script clicking the wrong thing

Thanks for watching and for the comment. You are correct that’s it’s not a perfect script. It wasn’t meant to be, just a demo of the mouse, keyboard and screenshot capabilities of pyautogui. Like I said in the video, it’s about building blocks that can be combined with other building blocks. My personal go to for web automation is selenium for everything that can be identified with the browser elements and pyautogui for things that can’t be. I’ve built some fairly complicated and sound automation that way. Pyautogui can be used for anything, not just web browsers. I hope with these kinds of videos it inspires others to give these functions a try in their projects.

@@BaldGuyDIY Cool, will have to have a look at Selenium. Back in the day I used a tool called autoit to automate software installs on our servers. It had a similar technique and could identify individual elements on web pages and dialogue boxes. I guess my concern was I don't think its that clear in the video that using the position of the mouse cursor is not the most ideal way of activating the search box. Someone new to this might just go ahead and use it not knowing any better. Hope my comments don't come across as too critical, the videos are great and keep them coming, you helped me start out using the ESP32!

@@DavePinnock Selenium is what I prefer. The other, probably more popular, web browser module for Python is called Beautiful Soup. I’m happy to have the engagement, critical or otherwise. It’s just nice that people are watching! There are times when I do a finished project, and alternate strategies are very helpful to post and discuss. In these kinds of videos, I just like to show off a couple features and encourage people to check them out. The ability of pyautogui to identify images within a screenshot is super neat and could be used to build a better browser navigator. I recently used it to automate Facebook Live for web streaming, but I didn’t want to show that in the video because of all the personal info that Facebook displays.

@@BaldGuyDIY Yeah, the ability to recognise images within a screenshot is very cool. Shame you have to take a screenshot first in order for it to recognise it. Would be even cooler to just find that image on the screen itself. I really want to learn more Python but its finding the time for all these projects :) I've just recently finished converting my Raspberry PI. It now runs off an SSD with Ubuntu installed. I was hoping to do more Python scripting on there but so far have only done some bash scripts as they were easier in the end to set up Docker, along and add the containers I needed

@@DavePinnock you don’t have to take a screenshot first, except to identify the part you want to click on. After that you just use the locate functions. It can be a little slow if you search the whole screen, but if you narrow it down to a portion of the screen it speeds up considerably.
