I'm looking to make an app to record my mouse movements and play them
back.
It will essentially be for unit testing websites, so I suppose it
could be done using one of the wxPython MSIE ActiveX widgets, but I'd
like it to work on other platforms and not just in web browsers.
Anyone got any ideas for how this could be done?
I guess if reading/writing mouse movements is difficult, I could limit
it to clicking buttons or use a fixed screen resolution and absolute
screen coordinates, but that will be very limiting I think.
Common operating systems aren't friendly to this effort.
At the least, you'll need to define your goal quite pre-
cisely. Do you want to construct a Python program that
monitors the mouse movement while *other* processes are
active? That's deeply non-portable. If it's Windows that
motivates you, <URL:

ences that'll help you start on the subject of
record/playback utilities.
