[python-win32] Dealing with windows in Windows

[Vernon Cole]

I have successfully used windpysend for several years. It is not elegant --
you have to feed the characters slowly -- but works reliably enough that I
automated several casino server start-up scripts using it, and the casino is
very happy that the users no longer foul things up.

It is not open source, but the license is inexpensive. See:
