Hi, Well if I can remmeber since last time I did something similar in C, it was close stdin channel in the open devices table (I don't know if it is the correct name in english, I learnt it in spanish) and put a pipe on it and then create a fork, parent it comunicates to the child through the pipe, so if child run a shell program, through exec, you should be able to comunicate to his stdin through his parent... I think that was correct, if I remmember well...
My app is console app, working by basic commands like send cd or dir to the console. I thought redirecting stdin (keypad) I could send this basic comands to it... but obviously I was completely wrong... I can not use dedicated virtual machines, and it has to be as similar as user environment as possible, and it can appear new windows that takes focus, so I have to assure i can get the focus every time before sending commands.... Quite tricky stuff.... if it is possible to do something like that in Python I can struggle a bit more, if not better leave right now before wasting time with nonsenses...
