A RPA framework automated by Python, can also integrated with other RPA tools, like UIPath. Currently support
- Desktop/Broswer automation driven by UIPath (RPA.UIPathAdapter)
- Desktop/Broswer automation driven by Python code (In Progressing...)
- Android automation
The main idea I use python to do RPA because:
- Pure code is easier to maintain compared to auto-generated code by the RPA designers
- Can easily do the interception things
- Can easily cross platform
Using UIPath
- Checkout file [pyRPA/RPA.UIPathAdapter/binary/RPA.UIPathAdapter.exe.config], update
UIPathActFolderto your own uipath folder - Run adapter pyRPA/RPA.UIPathAdapter/binary/RPA.UIPathAdapter.exe under administrator permission
Using Andriod
- Install adb
- Install android SDK(optional, we can use /uiautomator to inspect elements)
This sample will automatically open notepad, type something and close it.
- It will create logs before and after each UI automation
- 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]

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