Move mouse cursor to second monitor using pyautogui

Question

I started using pyautogui about an hour ago. Very nice that python supports GUI automation. I'm having one problem though. I use two screens and it appears that the wrapper is unable to move my cursor to my secondary monitor. For instance:

>>> import pyautogui
>>> pyautogui.moveTo(2759,769)
>>> pyautogui.position()
 (1919, 769)

As you can see the cursor is still within my first screen.

How do I force pyautogui to move to my second screen?

Thanks

Solution

Nevermind, I have found the answer from a github post.

It appears that moving the cursor to a second monitor can be accomplished using

ctypes.windll.user32.SetCursorPos(2759,769)

Sweet!

pywinauto (a bit different library you tagged in the question) can do the same: pywinauto.mouse.move((2759, 769)) because it uses SetCursorPos internally. But pywinauto is more text oriented vs. image/coordinates oriented PyAutoGUI.

use cursor = ctypes.wintypes.POINT() and ctypes.windll.user32.GetCursorPos(ctypes.byref(cursor)) to get correct position on multiple monitors

Do you know how to do this for a mac?
