Or if it were something that you were doing while RDP’d in, you could just 
select the window, hit alt-space, select move, then use the cursor keys to 
place the app where you want it.  Or use restore first if it’s in a maximized 
state.  I’m not sure that this is something that even requires python.

One can enable/disable a mutli-head monitor by right clicking on the desktop 
and selecting the Settings Tab.
Of course, you need to have a multi-head video card and driver installed first. 
but there are times when you want to disable the second montior/desktop.

When you connect to a system via Remote Desktop which has both 
monitors/desktops enabled, you cannot access the applications that are 
displayed on the secondary monitor. This is extremely irritating. If you close 
those applications and re-open them, they automatically re-ope on the secondary 
display. The only way to prevent this is to disable the secondary video 
card,and re-open the monitor on the primary display.

Some very old applications (Lotus Notes for example) which happen to be running 
on the scondary display, cannot be dragged back to the primary display.
