how to control other application from python

1
Hi,

I have a GUI application written in C++ and I need to be able to control in from the python script: for example, on this GIU there are drop menus from which I need to select the values and buttons that I need to click.
Is it possible to call and control this GUI application from python script?
Thanks!

I have never done anything like that, but you should look into ctypes.
