What I can point you to is not Python, but embedding it in Python is a question of executing one line of Python code triggering its execution. I think you will be fascinated by its features and ease of use and how well it is suited to fit into your needs: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/index.php With it you will start to see, that forcing to obey to Windows way of doing things has not only bad sides.
Is there something similar for another OSs-es (especially Linux)?
