If you're on Windows, there's also pywinauto:

I found it really nice to use, but I don't know how well it works with
Java.

There's also a commerical project, Squish, which seems to have Java
support and is scriptable with Python (though I never used it myself):

Laura has also mentioned AutoHotKey, it seems there are Python
bindings as well:
