PyAutoGui slow calls to moveto() on Mac OS X

for y in range(landscapeRegion[1], landscapeRegion[1] + landscapeRegion[3], 40):
         for x in range(landscapeRegion[0], landscapeRegion[0] + landscapeRegion[2], 40):
             bot.moveTo(x, y, 0)
             bot.click(button='right')

The moveTo() takes about half a second between moves. The move is instant but it will sit at it’s destination for half a second even though the moveTo is being called rapidly.

Hey, I tried a lot of different things but there was always a delay between actions. For rapid movements, I would suggest that you shift to Java and use the inbuilt java.awt.Robot class for mouse and keyboard, which is quite powerful and seamless. When rapid movements are not required, PyAutoGui is a great library.

I also experience PyAutoGui to be very slow. After every click there is a huge delay of some 100 ms. Also the moveTo command seems slow. Is this a known issue? I cannot imagine why it should be so slow.

I am testing PyAutoGui as a replacement for pynput because PyAutoGui has a more liberal license. With pynput I did not experience such issues. What is pynput doing different compared to PyAutoGui?

Using Java (introducing whole new platform) is hardly an option here. Will try mouse lib next.

EDIT: The mouse lib works like a charm for me (on Windows) and is MIT licensed. Recommended!

just write

pyautogui.PAUSE = 0.00000001

or just

pyautogui.PAUSE = 0
