[BangPypers] moving/clicking the mouse cursor using python

[Anand Balachandran Pillai]

You should be using ncurses for applications like this which need mouse
positions (x,y) on the console.

http://pyncurses.sourceforge.net/

Please don't use X like the way you did in the 2nd approach, *nix
really can do better than that. This ain't 1999 you know.
