People have been doing this before... if you do a search for pywinauto on google code search the 2nd link will be... http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=+pywinauto+show:SFnFI9XuSEk:FSZQBcwvc98:VkWgdDuEj0U&sa=N&cd=2&ct=rc&cs_p=http://codespeak.net/download/pypy/pypy-0.9.0.tar.gz&cs_f=pypy-0.9.0/py/documentation/talk/pytest-overview.txt#a0 It seems that integration wth PyTest might allow you to do what you want. I think it works something like: - You have python installed on the test machine - It is listening on a port? - You send over code that you want executed - and you get the data returned by the code. But other then that - I don't really know - I am no python Guru (especially not networking!) Glad that you are looking at pywinauto though :-) Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
