python mouse event recorder

hello,

i'm trying to do a mouse recorder.
I am using Pyhook to do that and i have a problem with the hookmanager.
When I stop the keyboard and mouse hook, my GUI don't take the focus and crash.

Code:

from Tkinter import *
import pyHook, pythoncom
import threading

class Application():
    def __init__(self):
        self.fen = Tk()
        self.fen.title("hook")
##        self.listederoul = Listbox(self.fen, )
        self.texte = Text(self.fen, width = 50, height = 20, bg ='white')
        self.texte.pack(side = TOP, padx = 5, pady = 5)
        self.bouton1 = Button(self.fen, text="Enregistrement", command = self.Enregistrement).pack(side = LEFT)
        self.bouton2 = Button(self.fen, text ="Quitter", command = self.fen.destroy).pack(side=LEFT)
        self.fen.mainloop()
        
    def Eventsouris(self, event):
        self.dico = []
        self.dico.append(event.Position)
        print self.dico
        return True
        
    def Enregistrement(self):
        self.hm = pyHook.HookManager()
        self.hm1 = pyHook.HookManager()
        self.hm.MouseLeftDown = self.Eventsouris
        self.hm1.KeyAll = self.Stophook
        self.hm.HookMouse()
        self.hm1.HookKeyboard()
        pythoncom.PumpMessages()

    def Stophook(self, event):
        print "fonction stophook appell?e"
        self.hm.UnhookMouse()
        self.hm1.UnhookKeyboard()
        self.texte.focus_set()

if someone have ideas thanks...

 

Glad someone other than me is doing python

It won't work. You can't have two infinite loops running at the same time (PumpMessages() and mainloop()).

You can use threads, however, but the result may be buggy. I see that you're using threads as well, I just don't see why it isn't working.

I don't get what you're currently trying to do; if you could tell me, I'll be able to help more.

 

hello cp_

i'am trying to retrieve the mouse's position when clic.
Mycode here works well except when I stop the hook with "Stophook" function. I don't know why because I stop the to hook the mouse and the keyboard.

Code:

from Tkinter import *
import pyHook, pythoncom
import threading

class Application():
    def __init__(self):
        self.fen = Tk()
        self.fen.title("hook")
##        self.listederoul = Listbox(self.fen, )
        self.texte = Text(self.fen, width = 50, height = 20, bg ='white')
        self.texte.pack(side = TOP, padx = 5, pady = 5)
        self.bouton1 = Button(self.fen, text="Enregistrement", command = self.Enregistrement).pack(side = LEFT)
        self.bouton2 = Button(self.fen, text ="Quitter", command = self.fen.destroy).pack(side=LEFT)
        self.h = 0
        self.fen.mainloop()
        
    def Eventsouris(self, event):
        self.x = event.Position[0]
        self.y = event.Position[1]
        self.dico[self.x] = self.y
        print self.dico
        for g in self.dico.items():
            self.h = self.h + 1
        print self.h
        return True
        
    def Enregistrement(self):
        self.hook = pyHook.HookManager()
        self.hook1 = pyHook.HookManager()
        self.hook.MouseLeftDown = self.Eventsouris
        self.hook1.KeyAll = self.Stophook
        self.hook.HookMouse()
        self.hook1.HookKeyboard()
        self.dico = {}
        pythoncom.PumpMessages()

    def Stophook(self, event):
        print "fonction stophook appell?e"
        self.hook.UnhookMouse()
        self.hook1.UnhookKeyboard()
        monfichier = open('C:/hook/hooklist.txt', 'w')
        for i in self.dico:
            monfichier.write(str(i)+':')
        monfichier.close()
        sys.exit()
        
        
##        self.message = tkMessageBox.showwarning("FIN ENREGISTREMENT", "L'engistrement est termin?")

if __name__== '__main__':
    appl = Application()
            

I try to register the mouse position when clic. I tried to do this with threads but it doesn't.
If you have ideas...
PS: Sorry, my english is very bad.

 

Your english is just fine.

Currently, I am on a linux computer, so it could be a few days before I can actually test out your code :/

 

thanks for your quick response. If you can test it in few days its ok for me.
I look the forum usually.
thanks

 

Hey CP_ ! Are you back?
I'm looking for you response everyday

 

Just an idea. If i create a 2 classes, one for the GUI and one for "Enregistrement". Is it ok, if i call the class "enregistrement" and after if I give the focus to the GUI, the class "enregistrement" will stop?

 

hello,
hey cp_, do you forget me?

 

Sorry...

For a script like this, you would need some high leveled threading, something which just isn't available in Python.

C++ I believe can do this, however, Python, as far as I know, cannot.

 

ok thanks cp_. If I find a solution, I post a reply.
