Accesing mouse library functions with ctypes in Mac OS X

[malen]

Hi all!


I'm building mouse movement filter program for Windows and Mac OS X. In Windows I use ctypes.windll.u ser32.getCursor Pos(pointer) and ctypes.windll.u ser32.setCursor Pos(x,y) to get and set the cursor position but I do not know what the library and functions are called in Mac OS X (I'm a complete noob when it comes to Mac :) )


To explain better (I hope) here is the windows code for a test program that forces the mouse to use a static speed:

import ctypes
 
class POINT(ctypes.Structure):
    _fields_ = [("x", ctypes.c_long),
                ("y", ctypes.c_long)]
 
point = POINT()
 
pi = ctypes.pointer(point) 
ctypes.windll.user32.GetCursorPos(pi)
 
newMousePosX = point.x
newMousePosY = point.y
 
mouseSpeed = 5
 
while True:
    ctypes.windll.user32.GetCursorPos(pi)
 
    if(newMousePosX != point.x or newMousePosY != point.y):
        if(point.x > newMousePosX):
            newMousePosX += mouseSpeed
        elif(point.x < newMousePosX):
            newMousePosX -= mouseSpeed
 
        if(point.y > newMousePosY):
            newMousePosY += mouseSpeed
        elif(point.y < newMousePosY):
            newMousePosY -= mouseSpeed
 
        ctypes.windll.user32.SetCursorPos(newMousePosX, newMousePosY)
 

What I need help with is the name of the library and name of the functions (to get and set cursor position) in Mac OS X to get the same result.
