There should be no difference. If you can change the label on a button,
you should be able to change the text in an edit control, even if it is
read only. It's the same window message (WM_SETTEXT). You should not
need to open the process handle; Windows IPC should handle that.
Do you have the Windows SDK or Visual Studio? The "spyxx" tool should
let you look at the window tree structure of the application, to make
sure the edit control is really where you think it is.
Is this a simple test application you could send me?

You really need to get out of that habit. What "from os import *" does
is this:
import os
abort = os.abort
access = os.access
chdir = os.chdir
chmod = os.chmod
...
and so on, until every name from "os" is copied into your module. You
EITHER do
import os
OR you do
from os import *
and the latter is virtually always a bad idea, because it fills your
namespace with all those foreign names, most of which you will never use.
