Although, could I not still implement those features from python, into the host system from python? There are also tools like 'kivi' which allow you to get system level access to do things. Though im not too sure on how far that extends, or how useful it would be.

In my szenario you have a standard browser as (thin) client and
Python only on the server side. In my szenario, the server could
run on the clients desktop -- however, it ran there as a "service",
i.e. not in "user space". My knowledge about Windows
is limited. I do not really know whether a Windows "service" can
fully interact with applications running in the "user space" and
what limitations may apply.
