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, but It has support for more complex controls also.

Recommended usage: 64-bit Python is for 64-bit applications; 32-bit Python is for 32-bit ones.
