Desktop application using python as the scripting language

Question

Hi,&nbsp;We are trying to automate a desktop application using python. The Desktop app is developed in Visual C++.&nbsp;1. Can we use python as a scripting language ? I am guessing 'YES". Wanted to double check.2. We have few dynamic objects and the way to use them is by ObjectIdentifier. The date in&nbsp;&nbsp;ObjectIdentifier changes every day. How to identify that object. Tried using find or findall. its not helping.&nbsp; Is there something in TC like contains in selenium.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, I only see video's and information on web objects and nothing related to desktop applications. Any information is much appreciated.&nbsp;Thank you.

1. Yes, you can.&nbsp; Here's a usage reference, but whenever you find a coding reference in the documentation, there will be a Python example included.

2. Wildcards will be helpful in the cases where objects may change frequently.
