import win32com.client
shell = win32com.client.Dispatch('WScript.Shell')

If, for example, I use something like following command line call/command to launch an instance of windows explorer, in a specific location, with a specific file highlighted/selected, the issue is that it seems to, possibly be hovering in background/not actually taking focus on my windows7 64 bit machine:
explorer /select,c:\temp\testFile.txt
Wondering if there's a relatively simple way to bring a specific, external window/application into foreground focus?
TIA
