This is just plain incorrect.

Yes, the original API was written in java, but Sikuli scripts are written in Jython. I did an entire automation project using Sikuli written in jython without any hiccups a couple of years ago.

Did you somehow manage to read my comment and interpret it as "Sikuli scripts are written in java"? Because that's not at all what I said (or meant) :P

Sikuli itself was (and still is) written in java - which I find a pain to work with when I want to modify the internals of the library; and then scripts are written in jython, which means I don't have access to my cpython-specific tools and extensions.

There's also PyAutoGUI: https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui

How do you tackle the debuggablity problem?

I'm just using standard python tools (pudb and pycharm depending if I'm running on a remote server or locally). Also being pure python makes it easier to stick instrumentation into the core library when I need it :)
