[Johnston Jiaa] | I recently bought a Macbook Pro from Apple. As it comes with | a remote, I thought it would be great to use it as a mouse | when not in Front Row. The fast forward button would move | the cursor to the left, the volume increase would move it up | the screen, etc and the play button would serve as a "click." | | Is there any way to manipulate the cursor position on the | screen using Python? It is greatly appreciated if someone | can point in the direction of where to look or what to search | as no immediately useful hits came up from google.
Just to warn you: this message will not directly help you to solve your problem, but... ... this seems to me to be the kind of query where you could legitimately post to the main Python newsgroup / mailing list and/or to some Mac-specific one, if there is such a thing. What you're asking is not really about Python as such, but about whatever the technologies are within the Macbook environment for detecting and controlling remote devices. I suggest, if you haven't already, that you post to the main Python list, but first have a Google around to see if someone's done this using *any* programming language which might be a good starting point for someone to explain how to translate that into Python.
