In Python how to use variables in call function?

Question

I am using Python on Ubuntu. call(["xdotool", "mousemove", "500","600"])works fine.

But if x=500, y=600,

call(["xdotool", "mousemove", "x","y"]) does not work.

What should be the syntax of x and y?

Answer 1

use it like this

call(["xdotool", "mousemove", str(x), str(y)])

x and y are variables which are pointing to data. But when you say, "x" and "y", you are passing the data itself.

Answer 2

Remove the quotes. If you keep quotes, it will treat as a string.

call(["xdotool", "mousemove", "500","600"])
