I hesitate to turn on my sarcasm generator, but I find it hard to
believe that you actually looked for a solution to this.  Any number of
good Google phrases should have brought you the pieces you need to make
this happen.

import win32gui

def winEnumHandler( hwnd, ctx ):
    if win32gui.IsWindowVisible( hwnd ):
        print hex(hwnd), win32gui.GetWindowText( hwnd )

win32gui.EnumWindows( winEnumHandler, None );
