I understand far better now. Others have already pointed you toward pywinauto and so on. There are several other possibilities, including the BLT extension, reliance under Unix on xwd and xwdtoppm, and more. I think I should point out that Robot, potent though it is, is *not* universal: in an X11 environment, for example, it requires XTEST. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
