Yeah, I wasn't sure about the name. Any suggestions on an alternative?

Python GUI scripting -> PythonGoose -> PyGoose -> Goose?
AutoPy? A quick Google doesn't reveal other projects with this name.
Done.

Rather messy since github doesn't do redirects, but I suppose it's worth it.

By the way, to uninstall the apparently poorly-named pydroid:

  cd ${PYTHON_DIR}/site-packages/
  rm -r pydroid pydroid-0.42-*.egg-info
where ${PYTHON_DIR} is "/Library/Python/2.6" on OS X, "C:\Python26\" on Windows, etc...

Then just run the new installer shown on the script page (or install from source), now at:

Perhaps you could augment the github project description to include some keywords like: keyboard, mouse, control, click, UI.
autopy is really perfect. It's reminiscent of autopilot and much more descriptive of what your tool does.
autopylot?
Taken, unfortunately (that was my first idea before AutoPy).
The link from the title of this post should be be updated.
Yes, it should. HN won't let me do that any longer though.
Awesome! I'll definitely be playing with it soon.
Hmm, autopy looks a bit to much like autopsy to me...

This sounds like a good idea — not sure how to change it without botching this page, though.
No offense, but did Ruby get all the dev's who can think of a great name? ;)
"Rails" is a great name for a web framework? "Hpricot" is a great name for an XML parser?
To be fair, Hpricot was created by _why. I'm sure 400 years down the road another madman will laugh, completely understanding what _why was going for :D
