Steve, I really went far in a personal project after watching your stuff. You are a really good teacher, you not only give great content and information, you show the mindset of how to take on each task and problem. Thx a lot.
@@coding101withsteve8 Yes, if you do it 3 times a week, your channel will have 100k subs in few month mark my words.just keep making content about python only
Loved the video! Feels like I can do a LOT more now than I could before. Also, you can combine moveTo() and click() with click(x = (enter X coordinates), y = (enter Y coordinates)). And I ran into an issue where my brower took too long to load the page before it could find the Search bar, so I made a function that makes your program wait before trying to find an image incase your browser loads too slowly: import pyautogui as pag def find(img): while True: try: x, y = pag.locateCenterOnScreen(img, confidence=0.9) print("Found") return (x, y) except TypeError: sleep(1) print("Waiting") pass You would use it like this: xy = find("image.png") click(xy)
To the folks who encountering this error message "PyAutoGUI was unable to import pyscreeze. (This is likely because you're running a version of Python that Pillow (which pyscreeze depends on) doesn't support currently.) Please install this module to enable the function you tried to call." Try running this in terminal: pip install --upgrade pillow
Thanks, this was a great start for me, I automated some task using try and except, and a while that cicles every second and search if one of the images show on the screen, if the locateonscreen function doesn't find it, it shows an error and doesn't continue inside the try function. If the images is found there is no error and a code of a macro can be executed. I would add to this video that the cheat sheet of the pyautogui library is very useful, can be found on Google. The functions pyautogui.position() (print mouse position) and pyautogui.moveTo(x=1857, y=1944, duration = 0.2) (where x and y are positions on screen) can be used to click on something else that is not the center of the image, and is very useful for automation purposes. A code example of what I did: import pyautogui import cv2, numpy import time pyautogui.position() # find mouse position for developing while(True): time.sleep(1) # wait 1 second before another cicle try: x, y= pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen(r"image_path.png", confidence = 0.9) pyautogui.moveTo(x=1873, y=1634, duration = 0.2) pyautogui.leftClick() time.sleep(1) pyautogui.moveTo(x=1857, y=1944, duration = 0.2) pyautogui.leftClick() time.sleep(1) except: None Also, you need to install "pip install opencv-python", it is required too. To exit the cicle I stop it from the terminal, there is also a funcion on pyautogui to exit a program, it is pyautogui.FailSafeException. I hope this comment can help someone.
thanks friend you are a friend, I needed to know how to use the image function thanks, I just found the way you use write but I'm a newbie in automo so I need to learn more.
Thanks bro, That was great tutorial, it made me realise the value of AutoHotKey scripts I write for the very purpose, they are very short and intuitive, I mean I can subscribe any channel with those scripts without inputting their logo. There's nothing we could really do, python needs to evolve.
Hi , there is an easier way to get the XY cords from your screen. You can write a small script in python: import pyautogui as pag pag.displayMousePosition() if you run it, it will display the cords of your mouse at any time
Hi Steve, this video is even better than previous one regarding pyautogui. Double thumbs up. I'm Italian and I'd like to prepare a video summarizing the beauty of Python, may I link and suggest your videos. Thanks 👍
The pyautogui locateonscreen feature gives me the failed to read, file is missing, has improper permissions, or is an unsupported or invalid format. Any suggestions to fix this??
Hello Steve, i am appreciate you made very usefull videos, thank you. I have a different problem with automating. I want to able using muose while automate clicking typing etc. on my other screen. Will it be possible with vscode or power automate? I will be so happy if you help me in this problem. Good day sir.
You can save it anywhere in the PC and copy its location. But for me I would prefer creating a python directory for your photos so that it would be pretty much easier to find and organized.
brother can help me how can i do this: i have 3 pic (jpg) number 1,2,3 in my screen i must choose the correct, how i say to python click in number 2 knowing is number 2, the number 2 is in the middle for example. thanks, i have screeenshot saved of numbers, but after?
Check my other video on Pyautogui. There you'll learn the basic commands. It would be better to use coordinates for clicking particular image among 3 images.
thank you for your explanation very helpful! Just one question that you did not call any browser in the code does pyautogui understands that it has to pull up a browser.
No it doesn't. It just looks for the image on the screen, and performs the click or key press operations. It's more like a human eye. What is seen on the screen. If there is an app open behind an already opened app. Pyautogui won't see it.
Hello sir, what file formatter extension can I use for my code to have the same colors are yours? I have Prettier installed but I just learnt that prettier does not support Python. My goal is for the colors on my code in VScode to look like yours.
great tutorial. I still have a question, when i run the same code as you did in 2:07 it says "OSError: Failed to read image.png because this file is missing, has improper permissions, or is an unsupported or invalid format"... i have saved the file in the same directory as my program as an png file. I also tried with other files. do you maybe know the issue?
Hello. Thank you for your comment. It could be possible that the image file was of another format before and you just changed the extension. Eg. If it was image.jpg... You changed it nto image.png. then this error can come. Secondly you can try renaming the file. Thanks you. Hope that helps 😇
@@coding101withsteve8 thank you for the answer aswell, i already fixed my issue, i am new to python and did not have my folder open, so my program couldn't recognize the images in the folder
@@oxydripgen having the folder with the file ".png" open or close shouldn't make any difference, only if it was there you obtained the croped image, program was searching for.
Hey i am really new to Python and and i a very paranoid person so i dont really like installing anything. So my question is: How do i know if its safe to install any Libary? I want to install one called ..pyautogui.. and dont know how to check if its safe. Thx for any answer and Great Video
Hey, I found a very nice article here. You can check it out 😇 www.codethink.co.uk/articles/2023/pypi-safety/#:~:text=You%20can%20use%20a%20tool%20such%20as%20pip%20audit%20to,Python%20dependencies%20have%20known%20vulnerabilities.
Hey steav, your videos and explanations are really awesome. Please keep going I have a following question: 1) can we avoid any manual intervention by users during the execution of script? Because that is the whole idea i required. 2) when we share this Script file to other users then they should hold the same PNG files in the same location right? Because i am really looking for an concrete automation as an alternative of RPA tools. Thats why asking. Please, need your suggestion.
Hello 1. No you cannot avoid manual intervention. You'll have to use it on a seperate machine. 2. I had tried that but it did not work. The pixels of other machines changes. You can try to change the other machine's display settings. But still I believe you'll have to take new screen shots. Thank you.
@@coding101withsteve8 Thanks steve for detailed explanation. But if other users having same screen size resolution of mine will that work, if i share script & images and ask them to Store it on a specific location and run.? Example: My screen size is 1980×1080 then other user's also having same size of resolution will that work?
if im using pyautogui and i have 10 different instances running and when they handle errors they need to use pyautogui to handle them but whichever tab is the active one on my screen ie whichever instance launced last ends up getting messed with when it is another one buried behind it that is having an error, how do i switch to the tab of python/selenium code that is having the error?
great video except I tried screenshotting the edit button like you and it kept saying image not found, i did it like 5 times, and one of them worked randomly, there was no difference. And now again, its not reading any of them anymore, how do u fix?
Hey dude! Thanks a lot for your great tutorial. I only have one problem, when pyautogui opens the app I need to automate, the code stops giving commands. Can you help me?
I have a simple bot for a website that I use, but it stopped working(site update). It’s a typescript and follows a selenium-based script that uses a very simple algorithm. Do you think you can help me identify the problem? Thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!
Bro what if i want to click under an image that has random location on the screen everytime page refreshes. i want it to click on all the pixels in certain area under the image
You can find the location of the image and then to click below the image you can use the moveRel and click functions. In my other video you'll find how to use moveRel function.
hello im confused on what to do because the terminal is telling me this. Failed to read youtube_search.png because file is missing, has improper permissions, or is an unsupported or invalid format. what do you suggest doing?
hmm, @2:04 I can't run the program unless I kill the arrow key in the upper right. Typing python pyautogui_imp.py does nothing. new to coding, would love to understand why that is happening
Hello, this error usually comes when the image file is not in the same folder as your python file or if you change the original extension of the image file.
