Getting cursor position in Python

Question

Is it possible to get the overall cursor position in Windows using the standard Python libraries?

Answer 1

win32gui.GetCursorPos(point)

This retrieves the cursor's position, in screen coordinates - point = (x,y)

flags, hcursor, (x,y) = win32gui.GetCursorInfo()

Retrieves information about the global cursor.
