sikuli

Thanks to Lifehacker I came across Sikuli which is described as:

Sikuli is a visual technology to search and automate graphical user interfaces (GUI) using images (screenshots). The first release of Sikuli contains Sikuli Script, a visual scripting API for Jython, and Sikuli IDE, an integrated development environment for writing visual scripts with screenshots easily. Sikuli Script automates anything you see on the screen without internal API's support. You can programmatically control a web page, a desktop application running on Windows/Linux/Mac OS X, or even an iphone application running in an emulator.

As this looks very promising, perhaps complementary to AutoHotKey I'm curious what scripts you guys will come up with. Especially since this program is portable and could solve "simple" Super User problems.

Example script from their documentation:

setThrowException(True)

setAutoWaitTimeout(10000)

switchApp("System Preferences.app")

click()

click()

click()

click()

wait()

type("192.168.0.1\t")

type("255.255.255.0\t")

type("192.168.0.254\t")

click()
