<p>The pyOpenRPA is fully portable solution. It contains own python enviroment both 32 and 64 bit versions. So, you can execute your python script in several ways:
- Execute in python x32 (OpenRPAResourcesWPy32-3720python-3.7.2)
- Execute in python x64 (OpenRPAResourcesWPy64-3720python-3.7.2.amd64)

<h3>What is UIO?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-is-uio" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>UIO is a User Interface Object (pyOpenRPA terminology). For maximum compatibility, this instance is inherited from the object model developed in the [pywinauto library (click to get a list of available class functions)](<a class="reference external" href="https://pywinauto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/code/pywinauto.base_wrapper.html">https://pywinauto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/code/pywinauto.base_wrapper.html</a>).</p>
<p>This approach allows us to implement useful functionality that has already been successfully developed in other libraries, and Supplement it with the missing functionality. In our case, the missing functionality is the ability to dynamically access UIO objects using UIO selectors.</p>
