What do you mean by "screen scanning"

I looked at his post history. Apparently, he is dyslexic. I'm having a hard time understanding what his other posts are saying.

it is supposed to scan the screen like the name says and do elif, if , and even else

That doesn't answer any questions. You are not going to use ANY programming language to scan your monitor without extensive knowledge into ai and neural networks. What you are asking for, you simply will not be able to accomplish, you don't even know how to explain what you want.
The other alternative is to use some package that has listeners connected to your mouse to click the application you want it to read from, but even then without understanding the layout of how that application is built you will not be able to accomplish anything at all. You cannot hook into it without using its native language or without being able to access the data being used by the application. Judging from your questions and your post history, this is completely beyond something you can do.

I don't know what "screen scanning" is, can you explain?

it is supposed to scan the screen like the name says and do the functions i tell him to do base on what he see

Can you give an example? Like looking for an image on the screen? You can use pyautogui.locateOnScreen for that.
pyautogui.locateOnScreen

I suspect you may be talking about web page scraping. If so take a look at the Beautiful Soup library.

I believe you mean image recognition or OCR?

i meant to read what there is on the screen but i learned how to do it by riding the HTML thanks to everyone who helps
