Is there a Python equivalent to Java's AWT Robot class?

Question

Does anyone know of a Python class similar to Java Robot?

Specifically I would like to perform a screen grab in Ubuntu, and eventually track mouse clicks and keyboard presses (although that's a slightly different question).

Solution 1

If you have GTK, then you can use the gtk.gdk.Display class to do most of the work. It controls the keyboard/mouse pointer grabs a set of gtk.gdk.Screen objects.

Solution 2

Check out GNU LDTP:

GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project (GNU LDTP) is aimed at producing high quality test automation framework [...]

Especially Writing LDTP test scripts in Python scripting language

RobotFramework can be used outside of web automation. Selenium is just one of the drivers
