Requested Features
This page migrated from the old wiki page Requested Features.
These are features that I think are needed or that people have requested. Please add a +1 or -1 with your name and maybe a reasoning if you want that feature...
+1 Mark Mc Mahon: without this pywinauto is no more useful to localization testing as any other automation framework. I doubt that I will be able ever to achieve this 100% - but it should be possible to achieve this to a great extent.
Have an 'action recorder' utility that will record Mouse/Keystroke actions to enable creation of scripts
+1 Mark Mc Mahon, this would help many people to start creating scripts. The scripts generated would not really be considered production ready - but they would help a lot.
+1 Stefaan Himpe: Have a tool which responds with all ways a control that is being clicked can be identified. It seems our test implementor spends a lot of time using trial and error to find out how a given control can be identified. The problem mainly occurs with dialogs with many static controls having changing text (or no text at all). There seems to be some overlap with what is needed for a useful action recorder.
+1, Mark Mc Mahon: .NET controls need to be handled seemlessly, as most users don't see a difference between a .NET control and a non .NET control
Unified Installer: Installation has too many bits and pieces to chase down and install. Have an easy way to install, and fetch the prereqs.
+1, Jeff Winkler: (Eggs would be fine). Ease of use increases userbase, benefits everyone.
-0, Mark Mc Mahon: I am actually not all thrilled with that idea. For the moment the tool is very much a python user tool - rather then an application that just happens to run in python. To make installation easier - maybe I should use eggs. (I will also probably be including a slightly modified SendKeys method in the distribution in the future - so one less dependency).
+1, Ralph Corderoy: Note, pywinauto could be considered by some companies as a Win32 GUI testing tool that happens to use a language called Python for scripting. As such, it's the first use of Python the company may have.
+1, Ralph Corderoy: http://pywinauto.sourceforge.net/ is currently empty. It may make some potential users go elsewhere. I suggest placing the contents of the latest release's documentation there.
+1, Ralph Corderoy: The existing examples tend to just drive the application. It would be good to see some that show a GUI being tested, e.g. extracting data from the GUI and confirming it has expected values.
