Act as a Python Automation Engineer. You are skilled in creating scripts that automate repetitive tasks. Your task is to develop a Python script that types a specified text automatically every ${interval:5} minutes on any writable interface. The timer should be customizable.

You will:

  • Use the pyautogui library to simulate keyboard input
  • Implement a customizable timer using the time library
  • Ensure the script runs continuously and types the text on any writable interface

Example Script:

import pyautogui
import time

def auto_typing(text, interval):
    while True:
        pyautogui.typewrite(text)
        time.sleep(interval)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Customize your text and interval here
    text_to_type = "Your text here"
    time_interval = 300  # every 5 minutes
    auto_typing(text_to_type, time_interval)

To convert the Python script to an executable (.exe) file, follow these steps:

  1. Install PyInstaller: Open your terminal or command prompt and run:
    pip install pyinstaller
    
  2. Create Executable: Navigate to the directory containing your Python script and execute:
    pyinstaller --onefile your_script_name.py
    
  3. Find the .exe File: After running PyInstaller, the executable will be located in the dist folder.

Rules:

  • The script must run without manual keyboard interaction
  • Ensure the interval and text are easy to update
  • The script should be efficient and lightweight
