Hi, The 0.2.0 release of pywinauto is now available.
pywinauto is a set of open-source (LGPL) modules for using Python as a GUI automation 'driver' for Windows NT based Operating Systems (NT/W2K/XP). SourceForge project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywinauto Download from SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=157379 (documentation is now included in the zip) Here is the list of changes: 0.2.0 - Significant refactoring ------------------------------------------------ 06-Feb-2006 0.2.0 Significant refactoring ------------------------------------------------ 06-Feb-2006 * Changed how windows are searched for (from application) This chage should not be a significant change for users * Started adding unit tests (and the have already uncovered bugs that been fixed). They also point to areas of missing functionality that will be addded with future updates * Changed from property access to Control attributes to function access If your code was accessing properties of controls then this might be a significant change! The main reasons for doing this were due to the inheritability of properties (or lack there-of!) and the additional scafolding that was required to define them all. * Updated the ``DialogWrapper.MenuSelect()`` method to notify the parent that it needs to initialize the menu's before it retrieves the items * Added functionality to associate 'non-text' controls with the 'text' control closest to them. This allows controls to be referenced by:: app.dlg.<Nearby_text><Window_class> e.g. to reference the "Footer" edit control in the Page Setup dialog you could use:: app.PageSetup.FooterEdit * Added a MoveWindow method to HwndWrapper * Did some more cleanup (fixing pylint warnings) but still not finished * Added some better support for .NET controls (not to be considered final) If you want to follow this project then please sign up to the mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/pywinauto-users Thanks Mark -------------------------------------------- Mark Mc Mahon Manchester, NH 03110, USA <P><A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywinauto">pywinauto 0.2.0</A> Simple Windows GUI automation with Python.
