Module winprocess


Windows Process Control

winprocess.run launches a child process and returns the exit code.
Optionally, it can:
  redirect stdin, stdout & stderr to files
  run the command as another user
  limit the process's running time
  control the process window (location, size, window state, desktop)
Works on Windows NT, 2000 & XP. Requires Mark Hammond's win32
extensions.
