Why can I use much less functions in python?

[TyutYu]

Hello!

 

I'm new here. I can use much less functions can found on this page: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions.htm.

How  could I call for  example the 'beep' command? I attach a picture what I get back when I call 'print(dir(autoit))'

 

Thanx in advice!

I have no clue what you are asking here!
What does python have to do with AutoIt3 ?

EDIT: Don't crosspost question and guess you are asking which functions are available in AutoItX?
if so, look at the appropriate helpfile AutoItX.chm!!!

Try the Wiki and just browse the forum?

Hello, TyuTu

I think I know what you are asking. Why are there so many functions in AutoIt and how can you find what you are looking for?

As mentioned earlier, AutoIt's functions make it easy to accomplish complicated tasks with one line of code.

You used Python to browse the functions that AutoIt has, but a messy list is no way to browse. Go straight to the Help file! Here's a screenshot of your "Beep" example:

Beep(500, 1000)

The Help file is awesome. I have read it more than any book or magazine in my life.

Hopefully, there is a version of the help file in your native language.

Alas, Beep() does not appear to be a function that can be called from a python program using the AutoitX.dll.

@JockoDundee - I think that is exactly what he was asking.  When he views the available functions to be called from Python with AutoIt (the screen shot he provided) the list is a subset of what is otherwise available in AutoIt.  The OP was asking why that is the case and was merely using beep as an example, his question now makes perfect sense.  I don't know the answer ... but since many were trying to decipher the question I will see if that helps.

I agree that’s what he’s asking.

IMHO, the reason that Beep() is not included in AutoitX may be because it is a very standard function to be called in any language, so the demand for it is not like other Autoit specific functions.

What I don’t understand is why are you even want to use auto IT at all? There really isn’t anything you can do that python can’t with the available library’s
