Automating Mouse Clicks with Python: A Simple Guide using PyAutoGUI

pip install pyautogui

This command installs the PyAutoGUI library, which is used for automating mouse and keyboard actions.

Ensure that you have Python and pip (the package installer for Python) installed on your system. If you don’t have them installed, you can download Python from the official website: Python Downloads.

import pyautogui
import time

# Wait for a few seconds before starting to allow time to move the mouse to the desired location
time.sleep(5)

# Get the current mouse coordinates (optional)
x, y = pyautogui.position()
print(f"Current mouse coordinates: x={x}, y={y}")

# Set the coordinates of the location where you want to click
target_x, target_y = 300, 400

# Move the mouse to the desired coordinates
pyautogui.moveTo(target_x, target_y)

# Simulate a mouse click
pyautogui.click()

# Alternatively, you can use the method below to click at the coordinates directly
# pyautogui.click(target_x, target_y)

This script uses the pyautogui library to move the mouse to a specified location and simulate a mouse click after a brief delay. The current mouse coordinates are also printed, and you have the option to use the pyautogui.click() method with specified coordinates directly.
