Mouse control in OS X

Hi,

I'd like to be able to use python to control the mouse cursor in OS X.
( i.e. programmatically move it around, click things, etc...) Anyone
know the best way to do it on a Mac?

Thanks.

I've played around with pygame, and it seems to have much of what I
need. Still, is there any way to initiate a mouse click from Python?

Thanks.

In OS X, you'll probably need PyObjC. I've never had a chance to try it
myself, but if any package is going to let you control things like
native mouse clicks (outside of a custom GUI environment like PyGame,
wx, gtk, QT, etc.), it will probably be PyObjC.
