Hi,

I am running ubuntu as my development platform but the application is targeted for windows machine. Is there any platform dependent library that can help me do this?

Are you on a Windows machine?  Then you might want to look at the
'win32gui_taskbar.py' example in the
'C:\Ap\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32\Demos'
directory. This assumes you
have Mark Hammond's "Python for Windows Extensions" installed:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

Greetings,
