Can you not just use '\t'?

doesn't work for me at least (Ubuntu 64bit)

After the patch it works perfectly.

I applied the lines above. I build and installed but "key.tap(K_TAB)" still does not work.

I'm using Ubuntu (32bit).

If you built in correctly then you probably need key.tap(key.K_TAB)

Thanks AVI!!!

Your suggested fix worked great for me.
Travel tip:
I'm using the Snow Leopard binary distribution, and if I do a "setup.py install" it breaks the binary distribution. So, I did a "setup.py build" and replaced only the "key.so" file in the "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/autopy/" directory.

p.s. Thanks msanders!!!!!! I just started using autopy two days ago, and in my limited experience, it is better and easier to use than many of the automation solutions I've tried.

FYI autopy.key.type_string() argument with a literal TAB character will work. "\t" on the other hand, just insert literal "", "t".

type_string(" ")
