How do I attach a python program to a window?

How do I attach a python program to a window? Lets say minecraft how would I attach the program to that window and have it auto click or mine while afk and I go and do other things, is that possible?

Does the Python script output keystrokes or mice-movement/clicks?

If not theres no way Minecraft knows whats happening unles you hook into it. Which is most likely considered cheating so not to easy to do.

Im not to familiar with Python in all honesty, but it sounds more like you could use a key macro or something similar.

I don't have an exact solution but you should be able to import the ctypes module and use the win32 libraries (specifically winuser) to send input to a window.

 

I have used those libraries to send input to applications before using C++ but never python (honestly never spent much time with python either). So I don't know exactly how that works.

 

Edit: This would be the specific C function you would want to invoke from python. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-sendinput

 

This will send input to the currently focused window.
