How do you use python scripts to interact with a certain window or client?

Question

is there a specific module to interact with let's say a client for a game? is it even possible.

Answer 1

I suggest you better use AutoHotkey, not python to interact with a certain window or client. It was designed specially for this task.

Answer 2

if you want to communicate with existing software, written by someone else - extremely hard. you don't know if the program has ability to communicate at all. and even if it can - you might not know how, especially with proprietary soft. there is no "common and standard protocol", even you would make your own if you'd write it.
maybe there is a chance of understanding a part of particular protocol for web-based apps by changing host and writing json listener on your local webserver, but there might be no use for it.

some programs are pipe-friendly, like most of Linux utilities. some developers provide API for their web-services.
it can be used, but you must understand what you are making and what for.

Answer 3

You can use input() to get something from the user. For example:

name = input("What is your name?")

You can also get a number/integer from a user with int(input()).

For example:

num1 = int(input())
num2 = int(input())

print(num1 + num2)

Answer 4

if you don't write both of them, it would be hard to know a communication protocol.
programs can 'chat' through a pipe (it's like input/print, but with another program), they can send json data (especially if they are web-based).
you never know if the program really has such function and how it is realized.

Answer 5

that's what I was thinking demeth how do I find that communication protocol to communicate with the window or client I want to move on from writing to terminals and try automate some clicking tasks etc..

Answer 6

thank you demeth for your time I will do some research
