I recently automated a scheduled task to retrieve content from an https
site that uses javascript for site interaction using iMacros, ahk and
the related firefox extension. Not a python solution, but it got the
job done.

Pywinauto is not working with this application that opens from the

application thats not installed on the computer just installed on the

Pywinauto sees the window...but cant find any controls and does not
recognize menu items, neither does its helper program swapy. Does anyone
know how I could automate a program like this ? I guess something about
it is not the same as normal installed on your own computer programs...
Also I dont like sikuli, because I hate its interpreter.

I don't know pywinauto but the lowest common denominator on Windows
is the Win32 API and the Windows messages. You can use either ctypes
or pythonwin to access those and/or create your own to simulate
button presses and mouse clicks etc. Doing that you can automate
anything in windows, but its a non trivial, error prone and
frustrating exercise so its better to get a higher level library if
you can.
