[python-win32] Is there a Python win32 RunAs equivalent where youcan send a password?

Alan,

I haven't been following this, but I see one problem you will have is you 
need to do a 'pin.close()'.  In general you don't know when a processes will 
send it's output due to buffering, and you might not have any control.  (So 
the 'flush' will send the input, but when will the output be sent?)  You 
might try changing your 'flush' to a 'close' and see what happens.

If I've missed your point, just ignore me, just my 2 cents.
