[第 72 期] TagUI for Python - Python package for digital process automation (RPA)

[kensoh]

Hi Yi Feng,

I got to know your blog from one of your readers. I'm following Automagica project and saw that there is recent new jump in users. So I reach out to ask some new users how do they know about the tool and she told me http://www.ruanyifeng.com/blog/2019/07/weekly-issue-66.html

I'm from Singapore, recently created a Python package with various automation capabilities (web, visual, OCR, keyboard, mouse) in a fun and expressive API - https://github.com/tebelorg/TagUI-Python

It's based on TagUI, a previous project which I created mostly in JS / PHP. For your kind review to see if TagUI for Python would be an interesting project to include in your future newsletter. Thank you very much!

Adding examples of its automation use cases (web, visual, OCR, keyboard, mouse) -

import tagui as t

Web automation

t.init()
t.url('https://www.google.com')
t.type('q', 'decentralization[enter]')
t.snap('page', 'results.png')
t.close()

Visual automation

t.init(visual_automation = True)
t.dclick('outlook_icon.png')
t.click('new_mail.png')
...
t.type('message_box.png', 'message')
t.click('send_button.png')
t.close()

OCR automation

t.init(visual_automation = True)
t.echo(t.read('pdf_window.png'))
t.echo(t.read('image_preview.png'))
t.hover('anchor_element.png')
t.echo(t.read(t.mouse_x(), t.mouse_y(), t.mouse_x() + 400, t.mouse_y() + 200))
t.close()

Keyboard automation

t.init(visual_automation = True, chrome_browser = False)
t.keyboard('[cmd][space]')
t.keyboard('safari[enter]')
t.keyboard('[cmd]t')
t.keyboard('avengers[enter]')
t.wait(2.5)
t.snap('page.png', 'results.png')
t.close()

Mouse automation

t.init(visual_automation = True)
t.type(600, 300, 'open source')
t.click(900, 300)
t.snap('page.bmp', 'results.bmp')
t.hover('button_to_drag.bmp')
t.mouse('down')
t.hover(t.mouse_x() + 300, t.mouse_y())
t.mouse('up')
t.close()

非常感谢阮一峰先生接受我提交的 Python 模块！

有了比较广大的用户 feedback 后，我会再接再厉把模块做得更好。
