Ongoing Development? #17

Hey everyone, I am highly interested in having an actively maintained SAP GUI library. I implemented several high-level GUI tasks such as parsing ABAP lists and shell objects from SAP as pandas DataFrame in a growing offline package. Moreover, SAP 7.70 now offers GetObjectTree (https://blogs.sap.com/2021/08/11/great-new-method-getobjecttree-in-current-sap-gui-scripting-api/) which offers great possibilities for GUI scripting.

I'm considering merging my package into this one. As some issues and reasonable PRs, however, seem to be open for quite some time, I felt like asking whether the library is still under active maintenance?

@fostermaier pending answer from the maintainer of this package maybe you could consider contributing to the rpaframework package ? One of your libraries is RPA.SAP which is basically just extending SAP GUI library. At the moment we don't any additional keywords added. Our development of the SAP library is a bit hindered by not having any active SAP instance we could develop against - might be setting up test instance, but that is a separate topic. We are very much interested in adding and updating SAP support in our libraries.

@fostermaier RoboSAPiens is an actively maintained Python library for SAP GUI automation. It already provides keywords for interacting with GuiTree und GuiGridView. But ABAP lists are still not supported. I would be interested to see your code that parses them into tables. The keywords are actually implemented in C#, so I cannot merge your Python code. But I can take inspiration from it.
