pcceshell should support detection of SIP popup, but I don't think that'd work with raw_input.

I'm pretty sure it works in interpreter mode, I recall working on SIP support years ago.

These are constants from windows.h (get the windows SDK to get windows.h and 
windowsx.h)

These constants are usually shown as hex in the .h file, but for some reason they were 
written out as decimal in ce code, likely due to a limitation in parsing long hex constants.

It should already do that in interpreter mode.

I have a 2 year old copy of pcceshell.py, it has stuff like this:

    def onParentSettingChange(self, hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam):
        """set sip"""
        OutputDebugString('parent setting change wParam='+str(wParam)+' ? '+str(SPI_SETSIPINFO)+"\r\n")
        if SPI_SETSIPINFO == wParam:
            sai = SHACTIVATEINFO()
            SHHandleWMSettingChange(hwnd,wParam,lParam,sai)
            
    def onParentActivate(self, hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam):
        """more sip setup"""
        OutputDebugString('parent activate wParam='+str(wParam)+' ? '+str(SPI_SETSIPINFO)+"\r\n")
        if SPI_SETSIPINFO == wParam:
            sai = SHACTIVATEINFO()
            SHHandleWMActivate(hwnd,wParam,lParam,sai,0)


This is supposed to handle SIP popup, but it requires windows messages to get posted to 
the parent window. Perhaps that doesn't happen when raw_input is used..
