https://github.com/learncodebygaming/pydirectinputA library that replicates PyAutoGUI's mouse and keyboard input functionality using DirectInput scan codes and the Win32 SendInput() function. It is designed as a drop-in replacement for PyAutoGUI to work with DirectX-based applications and video games that ignore standard Virtual Key Code (VK) inputs.
Install the library using pip to enable DirectInput scan code and SendInput() based mouse and keyboard simulation. This is useful for applications (like video games) that rely on DirectX and may not respond to standard PyAutoGUI inputs.
pip install pydirectinputPyDirectInput is designed to be a drop-in replacement for PyAutoGUI. It shares the same function interfaces, allowing you to substitute it into existing PyAutoGUI scripts where inputs are being ignored by DirectX-based software.
Note: While the interfaces are the same, PyDirectInput may not implement all optional parameters (like duration, tween, or logScreenshot) found in PyAutoGUI.
import pyautogui
import pydirectinput
# Mouse operations
pydirectinput.moveTo(100, 150) # Move to absolute coordinates
pydirectinput.click() # Click at current location
pydirectinput.click(200, 220) # Click at absolute coordinates
pydirectinput.move(None, 10) # Move relative to current position (10 pixels down)
pydirectinput.doubleClick() # Double click
# Keyboard operations
pydirectinput.press('esc') # Press a single key
pydirectinput.keyDown('shift')
pydirectinput.keyUp('shift')When using PyDirectInput, be aware of the following missing features compared to PyAutoGUI:
