You can set the Application.Interactive property on Excel to block user input: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff841248(v=office.15).aspx Example: excel_app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") excel_app.Interactive = False try: # Do some automation... finally: excel_app.Interactive = True -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
