python - fastest way to click mouse

Question

I'm trying to make an auto click bot in python using pyautogui but this takes too much time (it runs in a loop, and xPos/yPos changes every time). What faster ways are there? Thanks for helping.

pyautogui.PAUSE = 0.001
pyautogui.click(xPos,yPos,button = 'left')

I'm testing three library: Pyautogui, Mouse and Pynput. Links to libs:

• Pyautogui last upd. OCT 2021
• Mouse last upd. APR 2021
• Pynput last upd. OCT 2021

Below code and result:

PYAUTOGUI version:

import pyautogui
def click_pyautogui(x, y, button):
    pyautogui.moveTo(x, y)
    pyautogui.click(button=button)

MOUSE version:

import mouse
def click_mouse(x, y, button):
    mouse.move(x, y, absolute=True)
    mouse.click(button=button)

PYNPUT version:

from pynput.mouse import Button, Controller
def click_pynput(x, y, button):
    mouse = Controller()
    mouse.position = (x, y)
    button = Button.left if button=='left' else Button.right
    mouse.click(Button.left)

wrapper:

def click(x, y, button):
    # pyautogui
    # click_pyautogui(x, y, button)

    # mouse
    # click_mouse(x, y, button)

    # pynput
    click_pynput(x, y, button)

import timeit
if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(timeit.timeit("click(random.randrange(100), random.randrange(100), 'left')", number=100, globals=locals()))

RESULTS time for 100 cycles (average of 3, very small variations):

• Pyautogui: 22.07 sec
• Mouse : 0.16 sec
• Pynput : 0.20 sec

Mouse look as fastest library!
