Any way to import autokey libraries into python script

Question

I've become a fan of Autokey for a number of automation tasks and understand how to import & execute python from inside the program

what I haven't been able to figure out is how / whether it's possible to import the autokey libraries (python scripts) to be executed from outside the program

is this even possible? I get a variety of dependency errors based on a number of attempts, will posting pastebin of failed attempts if no-one has a quick answer with the elusive obvious I've been missing

UPDATE

Went through the process again, mainly I'm trying to access the Keyboard class

from autokey.scripting import Keyboard

produces error

In [1]: from autokey.scripting import Keyboard

    715     """
    716     A global application hotkey, configured from the advanced settings dialog.

trying to import AbstractHotkey directly

from autokey.model import AbstractHotkey

gives the error

NameError: name 'AbstractHotkey' is not defined

trick is that model.py has

from configmanager import *

at line 19, creating a circular dependency

suppose I could create a patch but still curious if anyone has a method that doesn't require editing core files?

Answer 1

Autokey does not provide a library that is usable outside the context of a Script triggered from inside the Autokey application.

So, no. Patches welcome, but the functionality you desire does not yet exist.
