| Thanks for your tips. In fact the first link you gave put me onto 
| Sendkeys (http://www.rutherfurd.net/python/sendkeys/), which is a 
| prerequisite for pywinauto. In the end that was all I needed. In case 
| anyone else is interested here is my code now (with SendKeys 
| installed):

Excellent! I'm glad it turned out to be so easy, and thanks for
posting the code and the link.
