pyautogui is a python module to automate keyboard and mouse actions. I found this very interesting and creepy too ! :).
Here are few things to ๐ note,
- Tried installing on python 2.7, was not successful
- Use python 3.x to install pyautogui
- pip3.7.exe install pyautogui
Sample Script
Open a application in taskbar and close it using mouse clicks. –> move cursor on application, then in python3.x console run the following code and –> Note position of application in taskbar –> note position of “close” button
Python 3.7.3 (v3.7.3:ef4ec6ed12, Mar 25 2019, 21:26:53) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

Simple Python code to open and close application (very basic :) )
import pyautogui
decision = 'OK'
while (decision == "OK"):
pyautogui.click(x=255, y=1048, clicks=1, button='left', duration=3)
pyautogui.click(x=1876, y=21, clicks=1, button='left', duration=3)
decision = pyautogui.confirm ('Should I continue ?')
