Forget about the GUI, see if you can control your device without it. See how well the device is documented. Maybe there's an API? If not for Python, maybe for C? If not, maybe it's easy to write your own driver in Python? Writing a driver for a simple message-based wire protocol is not very hard, and may be easier than reliably controlling somebody else's GUI with a script. > > This seems to mean I need to somehow have Python code > that imitates a human doing the necessary > actions on the GUI (selecting menu options, pressing buttons, etc.) > > Is this possible / easy / doable? > > Thanks! > > Chris -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
