+
+
+What is it
+----------
+pywinauto is a set of python modules to automate the Microsoft Windows GUI. 
+At it's simplest it allows you to send mouse and keyboard actions to windows 
+dialogs and controls.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Unzip the pywinauto zip file to a folder.
+Install the following Python packages
+ctypes       http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/
+Sendkeys     http://www.rutherfurd.net/python/sendkeys/index.html
+(Optional) PIL          http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm
+(Optional) elementtree  http://effbot.org/downloads/
+
+To check you have it installed correctly
+run Python
+>>> import application
+>>> app = application.Application().start_("notepad")
+>>> app.notepad.TypeKeys("%FX") 
+
+
+Where to start
+--------------
+Look at the examples provided in test_application.py
+There are examples in there to work with Notepad and MSPaint.
+
+Note: These examples currently only work on English.
+
+
+How does it work
+----------------
+A lot is done through attribute access (__getattr__) for each class. For example
+when you get the attribute of an Application or Dialog object it looks for a 
+dialog or control (respectively).
+
+myapp.Notepad # looks for a Window/Dialog of your app that has a title 'similar'
+              # to "Notepad"
+
+myapp.PageSetup.OK # looks first for a dialog with a title like "PageSetup"
+                   # then it looks for a control on that dialog with a title
+                   # like "OK"
+
+This attribute resolution is delayed (currently a hard coded amount of time) until
+it succeeds. So for example if you Select a menu option and then look for the
+resulting dialog e.g.
+app.Notepad.MenuSelect("File->SaveAs")
+app.SaveAs.ComboBox5.Select("UTF-8")
+app.SaveAs.edit1.SetText("Example-utf8.txt")
+app.SaveAs.Save.Click()
+
+At the 2nd line the SaveAs dialog might not be open by the time this line is
+executed. So what happens is that we wait until we have a control to resolve 
+before resolving the dialog. At that point if we can't find a SaveAs dialog with
+a ComboBox5 control then we wait a very short period of time and try again, 
+this is repeated up to a maximum time (currently 1 second!)
+
+This avoid the user having to use time.sleep or a "WaitForDialog" function.
+
