Can you show me a working sikuli pure python example with correct imports for click()?

what about the information in comment #1?

what did you try until know?

Hi Raiman,
I use bbfreeze to convert .py scripts to standalone .exe in windows 7 machine. It works great for pure python script. Since Sikuli .py are jython version of python, I am not sure even to get it working. I wrote following pure python script:

import org.sikuli.script.SikulixForJython
from sikuli.sikuli import *
import sys
importPath = r"C:\Users\uername\Desktop\Sikuli\app_test"
if not importPath in sys.path: sys.path.append(importPath)
def test():
    popup("works!")
    wait(10)
    pass

def launch():
    App.open("C:\Program Files\Myprogram\app.exe")

test()
launch()

I am getting following error message at line 1:
ImportError: No module named org.sikuli.script.SikulixForJython

my Jython works in command line. My Jython version is 2.2.1 on java1.7_55.
I am using PyCharm IDE running Python 2.7 _32bit version.

- SikuliX scripts are written in Python language
- to run them you need a Jython interpreter (with version 1.1.0+ it is Jython 2.7, that is bundled with sikulix.jar (IDE))
- Jython and SikuliX in general need Java to run

hence a Python-exe-packer does not help, since the runtime environment is Python and not Java.

A comparable packer in the Java world is Launch4J, that principally does what it should.

My trials until now did not succeed with what you want to do: parts of the Jython interpreter package cannot be loaded from the jar, that is packed into the exe. It has to be exported at runtime by a Sikuli feature, that I did not implement until now.

An alternative to exe-packing is the packaging into a jar, which is simply possible in various ways with SikuliX.
Please scan the docs about that:

Can you point to "exe-packing is the packaging into a jar, which is simply possible in various ways with SikuliX" docs?

Thanks RaiMan :)

Raiman, what version on has those runtime features implemented in Sikuli?

@ comment #7
here we are talking generally only about 1.1.0+

older versions are no longer supported for such special cases.

I've been working on a pure Python library to run Sikuli scripts without the Java dependency. Some of my systems don't have Java due to enterprise restrictions, so I too needed to be able to run them from Python:

It's still in alpha, but it has the basic features covered and the rest are being actively developed. Hope this helps someone.

Nice work on that lackey!
I have played around with Jython and there are a lot of problems when it comes to virtualenv and pip etc. which are quite important during development and usage of a test suite/framework. With your solution I can just use some of what I have done and still have an easier and more stable Python environment (at least from what I know about Jython and Python...).
