There are many ways to get the handle of  a window.
Assuming you have ctypes at hand, you could try:

>> user32 = ctypes.windll.user32
>> hwnd = user32.FindWindowA(classname, title)
>> if hwnd:
>>     user32.PostMessageA(hwnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_ICON, 0)

If you need it more acurate you could search MSDN
for how to enumerate all running processes and get the
handles of their windows. Process32First (...) could be
a start for reading.
