I need to programmatically control powerpoint/pdf presentations (the 4 direction keystrokes need to work at the minimum to go to the previous and next slides).
What library/module/framework can I use with Python to do this on OS X?
I’ve seen a lot of discussion on doing this in Windows and C# (or OS X and Quartz), but nothing particularly with Python. A cross-platform library / framework would be even better.
Overall, I would like to programmatically control my presentation with Python on OS X (as part of a hobby project, and probably also useful in my own short presentations).
You can try PyQt or wxPython
Here is a link for how to handle key press with PyQt – http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/01/how-to-capture-tab-key-press-event-with/
and for wxPython – http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.KeyEvent-class.html
