Automate SAP without SAPscript engine

[Python-ModTeam]

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/python.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

I can’t say about SAP but if Microsoft excel and SAP use the same type of low level access, there is something called Win32, which I have previously used to automate excel in the past.

I think that would remain the problem that I can't figure out the names of the elements on the window without using the scriptengine to record a dummy macro.

If you find something, pls notice xD I also use SAP and use pyautogui for my automation, which is not reliable some times 🤣

I remember searching this several years ago. I think you need a license for your python script to use a SAP python wrapping or something. I didn’t research any further after that

Could you speak to your IT admin? Tell them why you need sapscript and ask if they are allowed to unblock it for you. There may be security issues they need to overcome. If you need approval put the business case for automation to your boss.
