linux - Simulate Mouse Clicks on Python

Question

I'm currently in the process of making my Nintendo Wiimote (Kinda sad actually) to work with my computer as a mouse. I've managed to make the nunchuk's stick control actually move the mouse up and down, left and right on the screen! This was so exciting. Now I'm stuck.

I want to left/right click on things via python when I press A, When I went to do a search, All it came up with was tkinter?

So my question is, What do I call to make python left/right click on the desktop, and if it's possible, maybe provide a snippet?

Thank you for your help!

NOTE: I guess I forgot to mention that this is for Linux.

You can use PyMouse which has now merged with PyUserInput. I installed it via pip:

1. apt-get install python-pip

2. pip install pymouse

In some cases it used the cursor and in others it simulated mouse events without the cursor.

from pymouse import PyMouse

m = PyMouse()
m.position() #gets mouse current position coordinates
m.move(x,y)
m.click(x,y) #the third argument "1" represents the mouse button
m.press(x,y) #mouse button press
m.release(x,y) #mouse button release

You can also specify which mouse button you want used. Ex left button:

m.click(x,y,1)

Keep in mind, on Linux it requires Xlib.
