Single Application Instance Example

[Tim Golden]

[Chris Lambacher]
| Does anyone know of an example of how to make a Python program only
| run a single instance.  I am specifically looking for examples for
| win32.
| 
| I think I should be able to do this with win32all but the method is
| not obvious.  Preferably I would like to be able to get a handle to
| the already running instance so that I can push it to the foreground
| as well.

You could Google around through the archives of this group and
find some previous discussions, for greater detail, but the
standard approach (within the Python world and without) seems 
to be to use the Mutexes exposed by the win32event module.
