After spending a little bit with guitest, I have to say that I am a little bit... underwhelmed at how it's implemented. Being that I haven't really used software that does GUI automation, I wasn't sure what to expect... but given the test examples that were included (along with the complete lack of documentation), I have higher hopes for dogtail and GUITAR.
I will have to take a close look at dogtail's procedural API. It looks like it resembles what I (and I think Titus, as well) have in mind for controlling sugarbot.
> Update: Looks like I spoke too soon. While their procedural API looks like something I'd like to look at a bit more closely, their documentation is sorely lacking.
> Update 2: eMailed the creator of guitest. I didn't realize that it was 3 years out since it was actively maintained... but hopefully I'll get a response. It appears that he keeps an updated blog (gintasm.blogspot.com), so I'm fairly confident I will.
> Really Not Related: Mail.app's Mailbox>Rebuild command is amazing, if not entirely apparent. I had some duplicated emails that refused to be deleted.
