Yes, the notepad is just an example. My real attempt is to operate the external 
programs through Python. I know there are some "keyboard simulation" packages 
in Pypi which may work on this situation. But I prefer not bother to install 
them if Python's build-ins can do it.

By the way, after Popen invokes an external program, is there a way of making 
it on-foucs when there are multiple Popen instances?
