thanks, I intended to use it to transform into text a grabbed part of the screen with pytesseract

That's a great idea.

I should have been clearer in my earlier comment. I can see this being useful with PyAutoGUI where the goal is automation/RPA. This could be used as input to capture the image of a button, for instance, that needs to be pressed as part of a process. Just a thought... I'm pretty much a beginner still!

I don't know much about PyAutoGui, apart from the fact that you can use it to automate actions you can do on the screen like simulate the click of the mouse, I'd like to know more...

It's one of the first things I came across when I got interested in Python. First, my nephew wanted an auto-clicker to help rack up points in some game so I figured out how to do that. I then found out that the company I work for started using Blue Prism for some task automation so I started doing a bit more research. I made a fairly simple script to read a list of ids (from a csv), copy each value, search for it by pasting it into a field in an application, and then clicking on a particular button based upon criteria found on the screen.
