Dunno about X11, but GUI scripting via the System Events application is a standard feature on OS X. You just need to enable access for assistive devices in the Universal Access system preferences. For example, to paste the current clipboard into TextEdit:

!/usr/bin/env pythonw

from appscript import *

se = app(‘System Events’)

app(‘TextEdit’).activate() se.processes['TextEdit'].menu_bars[1].menus['Edit'].menu_items['Paste'].click()
