Welcome to Dpowers’ documentation!

Introduction
The Dpowers are a collection of python tools for common automization tasks, such as:
Send / receive events from keyboard, mouse and other devices.
Wait for a certain key combination or sequence to trigger your own code.
Observe and interact with windows on your screen.
Display notifications, dialog boxes and tray icons.
Access the clipboard content.
Edit images.
The Dpowers package bundles existing open-source projects into a unified python interface. It provides a high level of flexibility due to the following characteristics:
Adaptable. Each job can be performed by several backends of your choice. Switch between backends dynamically in one line of code.
Modular. Each sub-package (a.k.a. sub-power) can be used independently.
Easy to extend. You can add your own power and/or your own backend without touching existing files.
Cross-platform by nature. (More backends need to be added and tested though to be fully cross-platform.)
Benefits:
Save time by learning one command syntax to access several backends.
Combine the advantages of two or more backends into a single tool.
Future safe. If one backend becomes out-dated, replace it by a more recent one. No need to change your code.
Short and intuitive commands are prefered to type less.
Some higher level classes are included to enhance the backend’s functionality. (Such as
Dpowers.WinandDpowers.KeyWaiter)
Requirements
python 3.6 or later
Currently only tested on apt based Linux systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint).
