Well, it IS possible, but it's a fair amount of Windows magic. See if
this is enough to get you started in porting the AHK script to Python:
import win32con
import win32gui
import win32process
import ctypes
OpenProcess = ctypes.windll.kernel32.OpenProcess
VirtualAllocEx = ctypes.windll.kernel32.VirtualAllocEx
VirtualFreeEx = ctypes.windll.kernel32.VirtualFreeEx
CloseHandle = ctypes.windll.kernel32.CloseHandle
def TrayIcons():
hwnd = win32gui.FindWindow( "Shell_TrayWnd", "" )
print hwnd
tid, pid = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId( hwnd )
print pid
hProc = OpenProcess( 0x38, 0, pid )
print hProc
pProc = VirtualAllocEx( hProc, 0, 32, 0x1000, 4 )
print hex(pProc)
VirtualFreeEx( hProc, pProc, 0, 0x8000 )
CloseHandle( hProc )
TrayIcons()
