sugarbot

sugarbot's aim is to provide testing and automation facilities for the OLPC Project's Sugar GUI. The project must first identify and evaluate possible implementation options, and then implement the best choice. Although it has a Sugar focus, sugarbot should be easily extensible to other Python-based GUI's.

Automation, GO!

Got some button-press automation going.  It's a pretty simple implementation, actually.  Currently, it only handles one action ('click') and one Widget type (gtk.Button), but expanding it should be straightforward.  I ran into a problem where the user-defined action would attempt to execute before the corresponding Widget was instantiated, so I added a mechanism that will delay for 10 seconds (in .01 second increments) before giving up on an action.

The code is also on SVN now.

self._commands = [sugarbotCmd(self,'1','click'),
sugarbotCmd(self,'+','click'),
sugarbotCmd(self,'1','click'),
sugarbotCmd(self,'enter','click')]
