Como gerar eventos de teclado em Python?

pequeno resumo:

Estou tentando criar um programa que enviará eventos de teclado ao computador que, para todos os efeitos, os eventos simulados devem ser tratados como pressionamentos de tecla reais no teclado.

postagem original:

Estou procurando uma maneira de gerar eventos de teclado usando python.

Suponha que a função receba uma tecla que deve simular o pressionamento, assim:

keyboardevent('a') #lower case 'a'
keyboardevent('B') #upper case 'B'
keyboardevent('->') # right arrow key

def keyboardevent(key):
    #code that simulated 'key' being pressed on keyboard

Os exemplos acima são obviamente exemplos, mas o que estou procurando é uma biblioteca, módulo ou qualquer outra coisa, que possa usar para simular eventos de teclado.

observação : isso é diferente de enviar caracteres para blocos de notas ou inserir texto em campos ou algo semelhante. Quero que o script python simule um evento de teclado real, o computador pensará que realmente existe um evento de teclado.

Nota extra:

Não quero enviar pressionamentos de tecla para a janela ativa - quero que o sistema acredite que as teclas do teclado estão sendo pressionadas, diferença sutil, pois algumas janelas ativas não aceitam certas combinações de teclas, ou se eu queria usar atalhos de teclado para processos em segundo plano por meio do meu script, eles não precisam passar pela janela ativa

Até agora eu olhei para estas coisas:

Gerar eventos de teclado para o aplicativo mais avançado

Como gerar eventos de pressionamento de tecla do teclado por meio do Python?

Que eram sobre maçã e não ajudavam em nada.

E isto:

Qual é a maneira mais fácil de simular teclado e mouse em Python?

O que parece ser o que eu preciso, mas não consigo encontrar a biblioteca ou qualquer documentação.

Também procurei mais lugares, mas ainda não encontrei uma solução.

Isso pode ser feito usando ctypes:

hexKeyCodeé o mapeamento do teclado virtual conforme definido pela API do Windows. A lista de códigos está disponível no MSDN: Virtual-Key Codes (Windows)

Para python3 e python2, você pode usar pyautogui( pip install pyautogui)

from pyautogui import press, typewrite, hotkey

press('a')
typewrite('quick brown fox')
hotkey('ctrl', 'w')

Também é multiplataforma com Windows, OSX e Ubuntu LTS.

Tentei teclado lib e funciona bem no Windows. A linha abaixo me ajuda a alternar as guias no navegador:

keyboard.press_and_release('ctrl+tab')

Eu tive o mesmo problema e fiz minha própria biblioteca para ele que usa ctypes:

"""
< --- CTRL by [object Object] --- >
Only works on windows.
Some characters only work with a US standard keyboard.
Some parts may also only work in python 32-bit.

Cada plataforma terá uma abordagem diferente para ser capaz de gerar eventos de teclado. Isso ocorre porque cada um deles precisa fazer uso de bibliotecas do sistema (e extensões do sistema). Para uma solução de plataforma cruzada, você precisaria pegar cada uma dessas soluções e envolvê-la em uma verificação de plataforma para executar a abordagem adequada.

Para Windows, você pode usar a extensão pywin32 . win32api.keybd_event

win32api.keybd_event

keybd_event (bVk, bScan, dwFlags, dwExtraInfo)

Simule um evento de teclado

Parâmetros

bVk: BYTE - Código de tecla virtual
bScan: BYTE - Código de verificação de hardware
dwFlags = 0: DWORD - Sinalizadores que especificam várias opções de função
dwExtraInfo = 0: DWORD - Dados adicionais associados ao pressionamento de tecla

Você precisará investigar o pywin32 para saber como usá-lo corretamente, pois nunca o usei.

Apenas Windows: você pode usar o Ironpython ou uma biblioteca que permite que o cPython acesse os frameworks .NET no Windows. Em seguida, use a classe sendkeys do .NET ou a mais geral send para simular um pressionamento de tecla.

Apenas OS X: Use PyObjC e use a CGEventCreateKeyboardEventchamada.

Divulgação completa: Eu só fiz isso no OS X com Python, mas usei .NET sendkeys (com C #) e funciona muito bem.

Mac OS

Aqui está o código de demonstração usando a classe acima:

# DEMO
if __name__ == '__main__':
    keyboard = Keyboard()
    if sys.platform == "darwin":
        keyboard.Type('Hello World!')
    elif sys.platform == "win32":
        print("Error: Platform not supported!")

que simulará a digitação de Hello World!texto na janela atual.

Você pode executar o código acima como um script de shell. Verifique o link para o keyboard.pyarquivo .

Para Python2.7 (windows32), instalei apenas o pywin32-223 . E eu escrevi um código simples em python:

import win32api
import time
import win32con

# simulate the pressing-DOWN "ARROW key" of 200 times

for i in range(200):
   time.sleep(0.5)
   win32api.keybd_event(0x28, 0,0,0)
   time.sleep(.05)
   win32api.keybd_event(0x28,0 ,win32con.KEYEVENTF_KEYUP ,0)

Pode ser verificado se você executa o código e vai imediatamente para a janela do bloco de notas (onde o texto já existe) e coloca o cursor na linha superior.
