I don't think QProcess will help me since the app is unknown and not started by my pyqt app. I am interested in creating a free version of the windoze program typeitin. It lets you generate an arbitrary number of buttoms, each corresponding to an appropriate phrase. For example, you might have To:, From:, password and so on. You focus on the target form, click on the appropriate typeitin button and you have the desired text transferred. An acquaintence is trying to transition from windowsXp to linux. She maintains a large number of mailing lists and "typeitin" saves her an immense amount of typing. So, I thought I would look into creating a version for her.
