Automate 'enter' key in Python (on a Mac)

Question

I'm creating test automation for an application. I am using a testing tool to do most of the testing, but in order to get to that point I first need to automate one 'enter' key click in Python. I am using a mac, so pywin32 is not available. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Appscript makes this pretty easy:

from appscript import app
app('System Events').keystroke('\r')

This will send the keystroke to whichever application is in front.
