FWIW I used sikuli(x) and found it very useful, but I have a chronic allergy to Java[1], so I've been re-implementing the same API in pure Python --> https://github.com/shish/sikulpy https://github.com/shish/sikulpy
[1] more specifically, I found sikuli scripts pretty painful to debug, since neither java debuggers nor python debuggers seem to work quite right.
- ludamad 10y agoHow do you tackle the debuggablity problem?
- Shish2k 10y agoI'm just using standard python tools (pudb and pycharm depending if I'm running on a remote server or locally). Also being pure python makes it easier to stick instrumentation into the core library when I need it :)

- holtalanm 10y agoThis is just plain incorrect. Yes, the original API was written in java, but Sikuli scripts are written in Jython. I did an entire automation project using Sikuli written in jython without any hiccups a couple of years ago.
- Shish2k 10y ago> This is just plain incorrect. Did you somehow manage to read my comment and interpret it as "Sikuli scripts are written in java"? Because that's not at all what I said (or meant) :P Sikuli itself was (and still is) written in java - which I find a pain to work with when I want to modify the internals of the library; and then scripts are written in jython, which means I don't have access to my cpython-specific tools and extensions.
