Anyone seeking a tool to control the mouse and keyboard through scripts to automate interactions
About PyAutoGUI
PyAutoGUI lets your Python scripts control the mouse and keyboard to automate interactions with other applications. The API is designed to be simple. PyAutoGUI works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and runs on Python 2 and 3. Moving the mouse and clicking in the windows of other applications. Sending keystrokes to applications (for example, to fill out forms). Take screenshots, and give an image (for example, of a button or checkbox), and find it on the screen. Locate an application’s window, and move, resize, maximize, minimize, or close it (Windows-only, currently). Display alert and message boxes. The bot watches the game’s application window and searches for images of sushi orders. When it finds one, it clicks the ingredient buttons to make the sushi. It also clicks the phone in the game to order more ingredients as needed. The bot is completely autonomous and can finish all seven days of the game. This is the kind of automation that PyAutoGUI is capable of.

pywinauto
pywinauto is a set of python modules to automate the Microsoft Windows GUI. At its simplest it allows you to send mouse and keyboard actions to Windows dialogs and controls. pywinauto can be installed with pip and conda. Python is a great programming language, but there are no automation tools that were Pythonic (very few libraries were implemented in Python). The very first necessary thing is to determine which accessibility technology (pywinauto’s backend) could be used for your application. First, you should start your application or connect to an existing app instance. It can be done with an application object. It’s a core concept for the high-level pywinauto API. You are able to describe any window or control approximately or in more detail even if it doesn’t exist yet or is already closed. Window specification also keeps the information about the matching/search algorithms that will be used to get a real window or control.

AutoIt
AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement, and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages. We looked at many editors to see which one was the most useful editor for AutoIt. We found SciTE and saw its potential and wrote a customized Lexer for the syntax highlighting and syntax folding and created a special installer called SciTE4AutoIt3. AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required.
