[color=navy][i]Google Calendar Command Line Interface

gcalcli is a Python application that allows you to access your Google Calendar(s) from a command line. It's easy to get your agenda, search for events, add new events, delete events, edit events, and even import those annoying ICS/vCal invites from Microsoft Exchange and/or other sources. Additionally, gcalcli can be used as a reminder service and execute any application you want when an event is coming up.[/i][/color]

... just in case someone is looking for a challenge eg. to create an AHK wrapper based on the above mentioned options :thumbup: (c't 21/2017, Seite/page 156)

@HotkeyIt Thanks! I'm a bit swamped at the moment but I look forward to checking this out!

Multi-Threading in AHK_H is very simple, it works by using multiple AutoHotkey.dll threads:[code]Loop 3
dll%A_Index%:=AhkThread("Alias(download," getvar(download%A_Index%) ")`ndownload:=URLDownloadToVar(""https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=autohotkey" A_Index """)`n" CreateScript("URLDownloadToVar{}"))
While dll1.ahkReady() || dll3.ahkReady() || dll3.ahkReady()
Sleep 100
loop 3
Gui,Add,Edit,w480 h60,% download%A_Index%
Gui,Show
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp

URLDownloadToVar(url){
hObject:=ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
hObject.Open("GET",url)
hObject.Send()
return hObject.ResponseText
}[/code]

Absolutely not! I'm learning it because "nobody" knows what AutoHotKey is thus it doesn't do any good having it on my resume. Even though everything I've done in Python I can do in AutoHotKey... The only really cool thing I did in Python that I haven't done in AutoHotKey is multi-threaded web scraping.

Joetazz are you very experienced with Python?

BTW- I had to update the while true statement to:

while 1:
time.sleep(10000)

I believe I needed the colon for Python and while I think "while true:" works with Python 3.x, it doesn't work for me in Python 2.7

HotKeyIt- thank you for your input! I'm completely out of my league here and your help is very much appreciated!

Here is an example that I found here: http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/47595-embed-python/#entry390670
which runs Python from within AutoHotKey. (I get an error when I click the hotkey but Python does grab the computer name)

#SingleInstance, Force
^t::
i := python := ComObjCreate("Python.Interpreter")
i.Exec("import win32api")
r := i.Eval("win32api.GetComputerName()")
msgbox % r

import win32com.client # Import Library
import time # for time.sleep
ahk = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoHotkey.Script") # same as ahk := ComObjCreate("AutoHotkey.Script")
ahk.ahktextdll("","","") # start an empty '#Persistent' script
# ahk.ahkExec("#t::Run B:\Diet.xls") # this code is not good since ahkExec is used to execute commands and not add code
ahk.addScript("#t::Run B:\Diet.xls") # add code to running script
# ahk.ahktextdll("","","") # this would exit previous script and start a new one (#Persistent).
ahk.addScript("^t::Run http://www.google.com") # add more code to running script

while true
  time.sleep(10000)

This example uses [url=http://hotkeyit.ahk4.net/files/COM_Interface-txt.html]AutoHotkey.dll COM Interface[/url] instead of loading dll and defining functions.
Note that the dll must be registred using regsvr32 to be able to load the dll via COM.[code=autohotkey file=Script.ahk]import win32com.client # Import Library
import time # for time.sleep
ahk = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoHotkey.Script") # same as ahk := ComObjCreate("AutoHotkey.Script")
ahk.ahktextdll("","","") # start an empty '#Persistent' script
# ahk.ahkExec("#t::Run B:\Diet.xls") # this code is not good since ahkExec is used to execute commands and not add code
ahk.addScript("#t::Run B:\Diet.xls") # add code to running script
# ahk.ahktextdll("","","") # this would exit previous script and start a new one (#Persistent).
ahk.addScript("^t::Run http://www.google.com") # add more code to running script

while true
time.sleep(10000)[/code]

I found this script Python script here: https://code.google.com/p/pahk/
Which will use AutoHotKey to copy the clipoard's contect to a Python variable.

from pahk import Interpreter
from time import sleep

[color=#008000]#this script definds a function that uses AutoHotKey to copy the clipboard's content [/color]
def get_clipboard():
ahk_interpreter = Interpreter()
ahk_script = '''#Persistent\nx = %clipboard%''' [color=#008000]# Create a variable "x" which hold the clipboard data.[/color]
ahk_interpreter.execute_script(ahk_script)
sleep(0.5) [color=#008000]#Let the thread warms up[/color]

clipboard = ahk_interpreter.var_get('x') [color=#008000]#Get the value of the variable x in the current running script[/color]

ahk_interpreter.terminate() [color=#008000]# Terminate the running script[/color]
del ahk_interpreter

return clipboard

print (get_clipboard())
sleep(30)

Here is another exmaple using AutoHotKey within a Python Script. My examples are showing concepts- I don't really use the below, just need the abilities

import win32com.client [color=#008000]#Import Library[/color]
ahk = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoHotkey.Script") [color=#008000]# I'm not sure what this does and why I need it here and not in my other script[/color]
ahk.ahktextdll("","","") [color=#008000]# again- no idea what this is [/color]
ahk.ahkExec("#t::Run B:\Diet.xls") [color=#008000]# Win+T opens a file on my computer[/color]
[color=#008000]# When the folliwing line is commented out, the below hotkey runs w/o pressing it, but then it works correctly. When I don't comment it out, the above hotkey will not work. I'd love to know how to have multiple hotkeys within one Python script[/color]
ahk.ahktextdll("","","")
ahk.ahkExec("^t::Run http://www.google.com") [color=#008000]#Cntrl+t launches default browser to google[/color]

ahk.ahkExec("while 1\nSleep 100") [color=#008000]#This (infininte loop) keeps script running- needs to be after the hotkey[/color]
#~ ahk.ahktextdll('#Persistent') [color=#008000]#This doesn't keep it running as I'd hoped[/color]
#~ ahk.ahkExec('#Persistent') [color=#008000]#This doesn't keep it running as I'd hoped[/color]

Sorry for the delay in posting. Here is an example using AutoHotKey within Python

[color=#008000]# Two examples using AutoHotKey from within Python[/color]
import win32com.client [color=#008000]# Import library / module[/color]
dll = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoHotkey.Script") [color=#008000]#Creating DLL object?[/color]
dll.ahktextdll() [color=#008000]#no idea what this is doing...[/color]

dll.ahkExec("Send,My title`n") [color=#008000]#uses AutoHotKey to send keystrokes from within Python[/color]
dll.ahkExec("Send,second line") [color=#008000]#same as above just giving the example twice[/color]

[color=#008000]#~ Second example- showing a bit more cool things[/color]
dll.ahkExec("Send,^a") [color=#008000]#Use AutoHotKey to send Control+A (select all)[/color]
dll.ahkExec("Send,^c") [color=#008000]#use AutoHotKey to copy selected text[/color]
dll.ahkExec("Sleep, 1000") [color=#008000]#calling sleep in AutoHotKey for 1 second[/color]
dll.ahkExec("msgbox %Clipboard%") [color=#008000]#using AutoHotKey to show a Msgbox of the clipboard[/color]
dll.ahkExec("Click right 144, 155") [color=#008000]#using AutoHotKeyto have a right click at specific location[/color]

Sure, take your time! :)

I have several that I will post. Just been swamped at work! I'll get to it this weekend.
Regards,
Joe

Interesting... I havent tried this yet... Any code samples you mind sharing?
For Hotstrings... What have you tried?

Regards

I saw this code [url]https://code.google.com/p/pahk/[/url] which allows you to use Python in AHK and I found a few posts on the other AutoHotKey forum like this one talking about using the Autohotkey.dll file [url]http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/39588-autohotkeydll/page-80?hl=%2Bpython#entry646062[/url]

I've successfully created an AHK script and used Python in it as well as created a Python script using AutoHotKey but was curious if anybody has any examples they could share. Specifically one thing I have not been able to do is to have a Python program use a hotstring from AutoHotKey.

thanks!
Joe
