    <p>My goal is to implement a program that simply returns the current mouse position (without opening up any windows, and regardless of what is running). After searching for this, the closest and simplest implementation I could find was through <a href="https://github.com/msanders/autopy/#readme" rel="nofollow">autopy</a>, a python library for doing this sort of thing. </p> <p>The function 'get_pos()' which returns the current mouse position. See the documentation <a href="http://www.autopy.org/documentation/api-reference/mouse.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I simply want to implement the 'get_pos()' function on its own (because that's all I need to include from autopy for the program I am developing).</p> <p>In a github repo, I have searched through the source code of autopy and I have come to the following conclusions. Calling 'get_pos()' causes the *mouse_get_pos function to occur (see complete code <a href="https://github.com/msanders/autopy/blob/38e5ecc7cf6e3a19bd37935e577984312e0930a2/src/autopy-mouse-module.c" rel="nofollow">here</a>):</p> <pre><code>/* Syntax: get_pos() =&gt; tuple (x, y) */ /* Description: Returns a tuple `(x, y)` of the current mouse position. */ static PyObject *mouse_get_pos(PyObject *self, PyObject *args); </code></pre> <p>This function seems to call 'getMousePos':</p> <pre><code>static PyObject *mouse_get_pos(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { MMPoint pos = getMousePos(); return Py_BuildValue("kk", pos.x, pos.y); } </code></pre> <p>Which is located in the <a href="https://github.com/msanders/autopy/blob/38e5ecc7cf6e3a19bd37935e577984312e0930a2/src/mouse.c" rel="nofollow">mouse.c</a> header file:</p> <pre><code>MMPoint getMousePos() { #if defined(IS_MACOSX) CGEventRef event = CGEventCreate(NULL); CGPoint point = CGEventGetLocation(event); CFRelease(event); return MMPointFromCGPoint(point); #elif defined(USE_X11) int x, y; /* This is all we care about. Seriously. */ Window garb1, garb2; /* Why you can't specify NULL as a parameter */ int garb_x, garb_y; /* is beyond me. */ unsigned int more_garbage; Display *display = XGetMainDisplay(); XQueryPointer(display, XDefaultRootWindow(display), &amp;garb1, &amp;garb2, &amp;x, &amp;y, &amp;garb_x, &amp;garb_y, &amp;more_garbage); return MMPointMake(x, y); #elif defined(IS_WINDOWS) POINT point; GetCursorPos(&amp;point); return MMPointFromPOINT(point); #endif } </code></pre> <p>This code seems to include a method of returning the mouse position in all operating systems, which is what I'm trying to implement in my program. How can I get this c function to work properly on my system, so that I can implement it in my program?</p> <p><b>EDIT:</b> I tried simply compiling mouse.c by using 'gcc mouse.c', and I'm getting this error:</p> <pre><code>Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_CFRelease", referenced from: _moveMouse in ccVkh5f7.o _getMousePos in ccVkh5f7.o _toggleMouse in ccVkh5f7.o "_CGEventCreate", referenced from: _getMousePos in ccVkh5f7.o "_CGEventCreateMouseEvent", referenced from: _moveMouse in ccVkh5f7.o _toggleMouse in ccVkh5f7.o "_CGEventGetLocation", referenced from: _getMousePos in ccVkh5f7.o "_CGEventPost", referenced from: _moveMouse in ccVkh5f7.o _toggleMouse in ccVkh5f7.o "_deadbeef_rand", referenced from: _smoothlyMoveMouse in ccVkh5f7.o "_getMainDisplaySize", referenced from: _smoothlyMoveMouse in ccVkh5f7.o "_main", referenced from: start in crt1.10.6.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status </code></pre> <p>Does this make any underlying problem apparent?</p>

    2. CODo you want to implement it in pure python? Probably not possible. So you would need a C (or C++) compiler, compile the autopy part you need, and interface that. Why can't you just use autopy, even when you don't need all its features?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
