Well without PyObjc i couldnt control the mouse... I saw some examples importing Quartz  but that also failed...

I have python 2.7 installed and 3.3. I started building the app using Python 3.3 at work (windows) and importing win32api and win32con. Everything went smoothly.

At home I was going to import OS X libs to replace the win32 ones to control the mouse in OS X. I tried installing autopy and it fails

"clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-mno-fused-madd'

PyObjc used to ouput similar errors but i tried with the env CC=clang and at least it doesnt fail, but gives me alot of skipping and warnings.


also tried PyMouse but that didn't work also, couldnt install.



At the moment I can click the mouse and it actually moves, but no matter what coords I place it always goes to the upper left corner.


Mac Os X 10.8.2
Python 2.7 / 3.3
Im using Komodo Edit

also installed ActivstatePython.
