Screencast on ShowMeDo

I have been quiet for a while - and no new releases of pywinauto for a bit either.

I finally figured out that my metaclass problem was not a metaclass problem at all - but a logic problem in my code :-)

I merged in that code into the trunk - and I should do another release soon (a small one!). This week has been busy - been in training almost all week - so that is feeding my programming need (and making me not want to touch the computer - some direct user queries always get me going - so if you have one let me know).

The next few weeks will be very busy
  • with maybe a trip to San Francisco
  • my parents coming on the 19th and being around for a week
  • the day they leave then off on vacation :-) (for 10 days)
So next release will be the last one for some week (probably).

Finally my reason for posting - Jeff has done a nice screencast of pywinauto at:

Thank you Jeff!

  1. Hi,

    Just to say thanks for pywinauto; it's got one of the nicest interfaces for this kind of thing I've seen.

    BTW, spammers have modified the front page of the wiki a few hours ago. I subscribe to change notification but couldn't revert it because the password is no longer as stated at the top of the edit page.

    Cheers,

    Ralph.

  2. Hi,

    Try the following link - ShowMeDo re-organized the site some time ago.

  3. Hi Mark,
    Just came across pywinauto, and your blog. Noticed that the last update on either was nearly 3 yrs ago and wondering whether pywinauto has been orphaned or whether any further plans exist.
    Thanks.

  4. Hi Rajesh,

    Yes - I am not much of a blogger :)

    I have a new release almost ready to go, but I need to re-write the documentation. The tool I used in the past is more or less unsupported and I am in the progress of moving to Sphinx.

    The best location to look for information on pywinauto would be either:
    - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywinauto (about 2 years since my last release)
    - http://pywinauto.openqa.org/ most development hosted here, there are forums also.


    One of the major dislikes I have for how I have gone about pywinauto - is the scattered web presence (SourceForge, OpenQA, Blogger :) )
