pyRPA

A RPA framework automated by Python, can also integrated with other RPA tools, like UIPath. Currently support

1. Desktop/Broswer automation driven by UIPath (RPA.UIPathAdapter)
2. Desktop/Broswer automation driven by Python code (In Progressing...)
3. Android automation

The main idea I use python to do RPA because:

1. Pure code is easier to maintain compared to auto-generated code by the RPA designers
2. Can easily do the interception things
3. Can easily cross platform

Setup

Using UIPath

1. Checkout file [pyRPA/RPA.UIPathAdapter/binary/RPA.UIPathAdapter.exe.config], update UIPathActFolder to your own uipath folder
2. Run adapter pyRPA/RPA.UIPathAdapter/binary/RPA.UIPathAdapter.exe under administrator permission

Using Andriod

1. Install adb
2. Install android SDK(optional, we can use /uiautomator to inspect elements)

Sample driven by UIPath (samples/sample.py)

This sample will automatically open notepad, type something and close it.

1. It will create logs before and after each UI automation
2. It will highlight the element to be operated

Output:

Before execution of selector [btn_windows], method [click]
After execution of selector [btn_windows], method [click]
Before execution of selector [], method [typetext]
After execution of selector [], method [typetext]
Before execution of selector [], method [sendhotkey]
After execution of selector [], method [sendhotkey]
Before execution of selector [win_notepad], method [typetext]
After execution of selector [win_notepad], method [typetext]
Before execution of selector [btn_notepad_close], method [click]
After execution of selector [btn_notepad_close], method [click]
Before execution of selector [btn_notepad_cancel], method [click]
After execution of selector [btn_notepad_cancel], method [click]

Sample on Android (samples/sample-andriod.py)

This sample will search specific contact and print the phone number for you
