Yeah, I wasn't sure about the name. Any suggestions on an alternative?

Python GUI scripting -> PythonGoose -> PyGoose -> Goose?

AutoPy? A quick Google doesn't reveal other projects with this name.

  This sounds like a good idea — not sure how to change it without botching this page, though.

  No offense, but did Ruby get all the dev's who can think of a great name? ;)

    "Rails" is a great name for a web framework? "Hpricot" is a great name for an XML parser?

      To be fair, Hpricot was created by _why. I'm sure 400 years down the road another madman will laugh, completely understanding what _why was going for :D

  Done. Rather messy since github doesn't do redirects, but I suppose it's worth it. By the way, to uninstall the apparently poorly-named pydroid: cd ${PYTHON_DIR}/site-packages/ rm -r pydroid pydroid-0.42-*.egg-info where ${PYTHON_DIR} is "/Library/Python/2.6" on OS X, "C:\Python26\" on Windows, etc... Then just run the new installer shown on the script page (or install from source), now at: http://github.com/msanders/autopy http://github.com/msanders/autopy

    autopy is really perfect. It's reminiscent of autopilot and much more descriptive of what your tool does.

      autopylot?

        Taken, unfortunately (that was my first idea before AutoPy).
  - mcantelon 17y ago
    Awesome! I'll definitely be playing with it soon.

    The link from the title of this post should be be updated.
    - meese_ 17y ago
      Yes, it should. HN won't let me do that any longer though.
  - Pistos2 17y ago
    Perhaps you could augment the github project description to include some keywords like: keyboard, mouse, control, click, UI.

  Hmm, autopy looks a bit to much like autopsy to me... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopsy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopsy
