Yesterday I wrote a quick AutoIt script that uses the EditDistance python library by first writing the .py script and then converting it to exe, then passing arguments to it from AutoIt via command line.
Link:

I use AutoIt for 90% of my work, and it's quite adequate for almost anything. However, it falls short in one area: libraries related to data processing. This is fine, I understand AutoIt wasn't built to be a language for that purpose. However, it would be interesting if AutoIt would have ways of interacting with python scripts etc so existing python libraries for data analytics etc could be used. So far, the only way I've managed to do this is:

1. Write .py script, make it accept command line arguments, and print output
2. Compile .py into an exe file
3. Write autoit script that uses Run() to execute the exe file, and catches the cmd console output in a variable.

Is this the only way to go about it? This is a little inconvenient, in that I have to compile the .py into an exe every time I make changes to the python script.

Doesn't seem to be running when I use the .py file. I was wondering if it has something to do with the x64/x32 issue, but even setting the Pragma x64 doesn't seem to be working.
Perhaps I'll try reinstalling Python in x32 and try again.
I was also wondering if I could just pass commands to Python in REPL (python -i) so I would then just need to create a list of "Wrapper" functions in Autoit that can be used to control python in REPL. Thoughts?

      Simple Readability Server [PYTHON]
      By noellarkin
      Readability is a Python Library that emulates the "Reading Mode" used by Browsers, ie it takes an input URL, and returns the simplified HTML. It removes headers, footers and scripts.
      I made a simple server out of it, which takes CLI arguments for server IP and server Port to start the server. Default IP and port are 127.0.0.1:8900
      Example requests that can be made:
      http://127.0.0.1:8900?url=https://google.com&output_type=TITLE
      http://127.0.0.1:8900?url=https://google.com&output_type=SHORT_TITLE
      http://127.0.0.1:8900?url=https://google.com&output_type=CONTENT
      http://127.0.0.1:8900?url=https://google.com&output_type=SUMMARY
      http://127.0.0.1:8900/health (to check if the server is running)
      import http.server import requests import re import logging import sys from readability import Document # Set up logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format="%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s") class RequestHandler(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_GET(self): # Log the request logging.info(f"Received request: {self.path}") # Regular expression to match URLs URL_REGEX = re.compile(r"^https?://.+$") # Allowed output types ALLOWED_OUTPUT_TYPES = ["TITLE", "SHORT_TITLE", "CONTENT", "SUMMARY"] if self.path == "/health": # This is a health check request, return a 200 status code self.send_response(200) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/plain") self.send_header("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0") self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(b"OK") else: # Parse the query string to get the URL and output type query_string = self.path[2:] query_params = query_string.split("&") url = query_params[0].split("=")[1] output_type = query_params[1].split("=")[1] # Validate the input if not URL_REGEX.match(url): # URL is invalid self.send_response(400) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/plain") self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(b"Invalid URL") elif output_type not in ALLOWED_OUTPUT_TYPES: # Output type is invalid self.send_response(400) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/plain") self.send_header("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0") self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(b"Invalid output type") else: # Input is valid, proceed with processing the request try: doc = Document(requests.get(url).content) output = { "TITLE": doc.title(), "SHORT_TITLE": doc.short_title(), "CONTENT": doc.content(), "SUMMARY": doc.summary() }[output_type] # Send the response self.send_response(200) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/plain") self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(output.encode()) except Exception as e: # Log the error logging.error(f"Error: {e}") # Return an error message to the client self.send_response(500) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/plain") self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(b"An error occurred while processing the request") # Get the server IP and port from the command line arguments server_ip = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else "127.0.0.1" server_port = int(sys.argv[2]) if len(sys.argv) > 2 else 8900 # Create the server and run it indefinitely server_address = (server_ip, server_port) httpd = http.server.HTTPServer(server_address, RequestHandler) # Log an info message when the server starts logging.info("Server started") httpd.serve_forever() Note: make sure you have the readability library https://github.com/buriy/python-readability before using this

      [Question] Send("#r") dont work, and i am confused...
      By HoratioCaine
      Hi, I am using python to call the Autoit function. I found a interesting problem.
      env:  win10 64bit 
                python3.6.4  x86、    python3.8.6  x64
                autoit v3.3.16.0
      code:
      #filename: demo.py from ctypes import windll dll = windll.LoadLibrary(r"D:\it_tools\autoit\AutoIt3\AutoItX\AutoItX3_x64.dll") # or AutoItX3.dll dll.AU3_Send("#r", 0) Behaviour:
            (1) run with the "python.exe" 
      it will not open the run dialog, but input a "r" in the cmd window.

             (2) run with xxxxxx.exe (renamed from python.exe, you can rename whatever you like)
      work success


      I dont know why it happened.   I think it shoule be related to Python and Autoit.  So I came here...
      Can someone give me some advices.  Thanks a lot.
      (by the way, My English is not very well... I wish I  have provided the enough information... If you need more details, please contact me    )

      [Question] Why `WinKill` does not work？
      By HoratioCaine
      Hi, everyone.
      I have python code for kill window,  but sometimes it does not working .

      My code is :
      import subprocess import time import ctypes au3_dll = ctypes.windll.LoadLibrary(r'D:\AutoIt\AutoItX3.dll') def close_ie(title): subprocess.Popen(f"C:/Program Files (x86)/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe https://cn.bing.com/?mkt=zh-CN") time.sleep(2) au3_dll.AU3_Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ret = au3_dll.AU3_WinKill(title, "") print(ret) if __name__ == '__main__': title = '必应 - Internet Explorer' for i in range(10): close_ie(title) My expectation is that all IE windows will be closed, but there will always be a few windows still there.
      My env: win10 64bit python3.6.4 autoit v3.3.14.2  
      Any suggestions would be appreciated

      Automated pip install esptool fails
      By DanielRossinsky
      I've been working for quite a while on an automated installer for python3.8.3 and Thonny3.2.7 and encountered a pretty strange problem - automated python install work perfectly. However using pip to install esptool returns error code 1. The strange thing is if i manually install it after running the python installer it does indeed install correctly (returns 0 instead).
      The code i was using:
      Local Const $sInstallerPath = @ScriptDir & "\python-3.8.3.exe" Local $PythonResult = RunWait($sInstallerPath & " /quiet") Local $ESPToolResult = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "pip install esptool") MsgBox(0, "Installer returns", "Python result: " & $PythonResult & @CRLF & "esptool result: " & $ESPToolResult) Than I thought that maybe python installer fires off multiple processes during installation and tried :
      Local Const $sInstallerPath = @ScriptDir & "\python-3.8.3.exe" Local $iPID = Run($sInstallerPath & " /quiet") Local $PythonResult = ProcessWaitClose($iPID) Local $ESPToolResult = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "pip install esptool") MsgBox(0, "Installer returns", "Python result: " & $PythonResult & @CRLF & "esptool result: " & $ESPToolResult) However, The problem still remains. some-why esptool install refuses to be automated with python but if i comment out the python install part it does work ?! (note that i comment it out after the script already installed python and did not manually install it myself).
      Any idea why this happens ?
      NOTE: I added the unattend.xml file im using but python.exe was too big - I'm using python3.8.3 for compatibility with thonny and the unattend files makes a minimal install just for thonny to work (target platform esp32 with micopython)

      Trying to convert a Python script to Autoit
      By pete_wilde
      Hi Guys,
      I am trying to convert a python script to AutoIT, but it is not returning any data.

      My aim is to eventually have a script which sends me an email whenever a goal is scored in the English Premiership.
      Is there any guru who can have a quick look over the below script and see if there are any obvious errors?
      To use a football analogy, I think that I have hit the bar a couple of times, but not yet found the back of the net! 
      #cs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PYTHON CODE: import requests import json endpoint = "https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/rest/v1.0/" header = { 'X-Application' : 'APP_KEY_HERE', 'X-Authentication' : 'SESSION_TOKEN_HERE' ,'content-type' : 'application/json' } json_req='{"filter":{ }}' url = endpoint + "listEventTypes/" response = requests.post(url, data=json_req, headers=header) print json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), indent=3) #ce ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <WinHttp.au3> Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1) Global $sAddress = 'https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1/' Global $sPostData = 'https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1/listEventTypes/' Global $sAppKey = '4YpsEhdsgtedjd' Global $sSession_key = 'BhKl7Ijdu4E3pzHhKu7K5fQrvzf9p3wq/diRMt7bZka7' Global $sjson_req = '{"filter":{ }}' Global $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen() ; Get Session handle ; ##### CHECKED AND VALID HANDLE IS RETURNED ##### Global $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, $sAddress) ; Get connection handle ; ##### CHECKED AND VALID HANDLE IS RETURNED ##### Global $hRequest = _WinHttpOpenRequest($hConnect, 'POST') ; Make a request ; ##### CHECKED AND VALID HANDLE IS RETURNED ##### ; Add header fields to the request _WinHttpAddRequestHeaders($hRequest, 'X-Application: ' & $sAppKey) _WinHttpAddRequestHeaders($hRequest, 'X-Authentication: ' & $sSession_key) _WinHttpAddRequestHeaders($hRequest, 'Accept: application/json') _WinHttpAddRequestHeaders($hRequest, 'Content-Type: application/json') _WinHttpSendRequest($sPostData, 'Data=' & $sjson_req, $hRequest) ; Send it _WinHttpReceiveResponse($hRequest) ; Wait for the response ; Check if there is a response Global $sHeader, $sReturned If _WinHttpQueryDataAvailable($hRequest) Then $sHeader = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($hRequest) MsgBox(64, 'Header', $sHeader) Do $sReturned &= _WinHttpReadData($hRequest) Until @error ConsoleWrite($sReturned) ; Print returned Else ConsoleWriteError('!No data available.' & @CRLF) MsgBox(48, 'Failure', 'No data available.') ;##### <==== ALWAYS FAILS HERE! ##### EndIf ; Close handles _WinHttpCloseHandle($hRequest) _WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect) _WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen) I am sure that I have probably missed out a vital line, but for the life of me I can't see the wood for the trees anymore.
      Anyone got any suggestions?
      Many thanks,
      Pete
