Google for AutoIt. It's not Python, but it does have an Active/X
interface, which I'm using via Mark Hammond's win32com package. Not sure
how well any of that stuff works under Wine though.

Actually, if you go to Google groups you can search for AutoIt on c.l.py -
somebody mentioned it several months back and IIRC posted a snippet of
code on how to use it.
