Hi, The 0.3.1 release of pywinauto is now available. pywinauto is a set of open-source (LGPL) modules for using Python as a GUI automation 'driver' for Windows NT based Operating Systems (NT/W2K/XP). SourceForge project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywinauto Download from SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=157379 Here is the list of changes from 0.3.0: 0.3.1 Performance tune-ups ------------------------------------------------------------------ 30-Mar-2006 * Change calculation of distance in findbestmatch.GetNonTextControlName() so that it does not need to square or get the square root to find the real distance - as we only need to compare values - not have the actual distance. (Thanks to Stefaan Himple) * Compiled regular expression patterns before doing the match to avoid compiling the regular expression for window that is being tested (Thanks to Stefaan Himple) * Made it easier to add your own control tests by adding a file extra_tests.py which needs to export a ModifyRegisteredTests() method. Also cleaned up the code a little. * Updated notepad_fast.py to make it easier to profile (adde a method) * Changed WrapHandle to use a cache for classes it has matched - this is to avoid having to match against all classes constantly. * Changed default timeout in SendMessageTimeout to .001 seconds from .4 seconds this results in a significant speedup. Will need to make this value modifiable via the timing module/routine. * WaitNot was raising an error if the control was not found - it should have returned (i.e. success - control is not in any particular state because it does not exist!). * Added ListViewWrapper.Deselect() per Chistophe Keller's suggestion. While I was at it I added a check on the item value passed in and added a call to WaitGuiIdle(self) so that the control has a chance to process the message. * Changed doc templates and moved dependencies into pywinauto subversion to ensure that all files were availabe at www.openqa.org and that they are not broken when viewed there. * Moved all timing information into the timings.Timings class. There are some simple methods for changing the timings.
