Overview

clickpy

Automated mouse clicker script using PyAutoGUI and Typer.

This app will randomly click your mouse between 1 second and 3 minutes, to prevent your screen and apps from sleeping or displaying an away status.

The rational behind the random interval is: if the mouse contiually clicked every second or millisecond, it could easily be detected as an automated process.

The random interval provides a sembalance of feasability, although the interval could be reduced and extended as needed, or move the cursor after a couple consecutive clicks. (Possibe future feature?)

PyAutoGUI provides a simple interface to the mouse, and Typer provides simple cli parsing. You can find out more about these libraries with the links provided above.

Installation

This package supports Python 3.6 through 3.9. It does not support any version of Python 2, nor any version of 3 lower than 3.6. Please upgrade our Python version, if possible.

I highly recommend using pipx for installing standalone packages, as it adds a layer of isolation to your installation. But pip will also work.

pipx install clickpy
# -- or --
pip install clickpy

If you're using macOS or Linux, you may have to install additional dependencies for PyAutoGUI to work properly. Please review their docs for additional information.

Windows users don't have to install any additional software.

To uninstall, type in your terminal:

pipx uninstall clickpy
# -- or --
pip uninstall clickpy

Running

Once this package is installed, and any additional dependencies too, run the app like so:

clickpy

To stop it, press ctrl+c.

There are 3 flags you can use; -d will display debug information, -f will speed the app up to 1 click every second, and --help will display the help menu.

    Update Readme for 0.5.0a

    I need to add more developer information about setting all interpreters with pyenv, or maybe look into a plugin between tox and pyenv.

    Remove information about "only supporting python 3.9." With tox, this package is now supporting python 3.6 - 3.9.

    And preform general clean up, and find another changes that need to added / removed.

  • What is Tox, and do I want to use it?

    What is Tox, and do I want to use it?

    Tox looks like a testing automation tool, which can be used to test multiple python interpreters easily.

    I'm already using pytest with poetry, and I'm only supporting python 3.9 right now. Do I want to use tox with this project?

    Maybe, just for the hell of it?

    How to locally install package with poetry

    There's several poetry commands to create the dist folder, then publish to pypi. But how do I install my package to my local machine for testing?

    Maybe I should try using pipx after publishing to pypi?

  • Determine best way to package project

    Determine best way to package project

    It looks like there is a couple ways to manage packaging in the python ecosystem

    • Pipenv
    • Poery
    • Flit
    • pip-tools

    I like pipenv when developing, but it's packaging a approach is lacking. I would still have to manually manage packages, and I would like to do as little as possible when it comes to packaging.

    Poetry seems to handle packaging better by using pyproject.toml directly, but it's development workflow is lacking, and doesn't integrate with virtual environments as well as pipenv.

    Coverage Script should be cross platform

    The script to run coverage reports still relies on bash. How can I make this cross platform?

    • Turn it into python script?
    • logic to determine OS, and open appropriate shell?
    • Just use bash, and make git a hard requirement?

  • Update docstrings

    Update docstrings

    Docstrings are probably out of date by now. I've changed the basic api at least 2 or 3 times now.

    Go through all docstrings and make sure they are up-to-date, and be sure to add any execption examples, or gotcha's an end user would need to know.

    Might need todo more research on docstring for exception examples, and better docstrings in general.

  • Implementing different mouse clicking strategies.

    Implementing different mouse clicking strategies.

    Random interval clicking is better than clicking away every second, but it still doesn't represent a "realistic" clicking style that a human would replicate if actually clicking and using the mouse for real-world activities.

    I also recently watched a video about the Strategy pattern, and I think it would be a good idea to create different types of clicking patterns and styles to simulate a "real" human interaction with the mouse.

    Making a system of my own dunder methods or abstract methods is simple enough, the tricky part is coming up with algorithms for different clicking patterns without massively duplicating code.

  • Look into pre-commits

    Look into pre-commits

    I heard something about pre-commits, that they're basically git hooks that can run tests, linters, formatters, and other things before a commit even happens.

    This isn't high priority, but something tool to learn about.
